Former Ghanaian winger, Laryea Kingston, has officially taken the helm as the new head coach of the Black Starlets, Ghana’s junior national football team. Kingston, who previously served as an assistant to Dreams FC coach Abdul Karim Zito, brings a wealth of experience to his new role.
Joining Kingston in coaching the Black Starlets are former Hearts of Oak star Jacob Nettey and Nana Agyemang, both highly qualified with CAF License A and UEFA License B certificates. Agyemang’s coaching journey includes stints with various football academies, including Adenta United, Barbarossa Academy, the Lizzy Sports Complex Academy, and ProGen Football Club.
The Executive Committee of the Ghana Football Association has placed their confidence in Kingston’s leadership as they prepare for the upcoming WAFU U17 Cup of Nations in Ghana. Additionally, the team will embark on a journey to Russia for a U17 invitational tournament, providing valuable preparation for the WAFU championship.
With aspirations of reclaiming their former glory, the Black Starlets are determined to secure a spot in the U17 Africa Cup of Nations, aiming for their first appearance since 2017. Under Kingston’s guidance, the team is poised for a resurgence on the continental stage, fueling hopes of future success for Ghanaian football.
