Laryea Kingston has resigned from his role as Black Starlets Coach (Ghana’s Under-17 National Team).
The Ghana Under 17 team missed out on a third successive AFCON competition after a 2-1 loss to Burkina Faso in the semi final of the WAFU Zone B Championship.
Laryea who has been in charge of the Starlets since October 2023, said he was always going to resign if He failed to qualify the team to the U17 Afcon and has simply followed through with it.
”I know Ghanaians know me as a player and are familiar with the sacrifices I made for the country during my playing days. I gave my all as a player, but in the end, I wasn’t happy.
”I put more focus on my coaching career and educated myself to make sure I came back to changed the narrative around Ghana Football.”
”Within these past seven months as Head Coach, I’ve given my all. I decided when we came back from Russia that I would resign after the WAFU competition. The explanation will come later,” he said.
The Black Starlets scored 54 times and conceded 15 goals from 17 games, winning 12, drawing 3 and losing 2 with Laryea as head coach.
