The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has made a significant announcement regarding the Black Starlets, with the appointment of former Ghana international, Laryea Kingston, as the head coach of the team. Kingston, who has previously served as Ghana’s U-18 assistant coach under Karim Zito, brings a wealth of experience to his new role.
Having recently led the team in friendly matches in preparation for the upcoming WAFU B tournament, Kingston’s experience as a former player for both Hearts of Oak and Great Olympics will be invaluable in guiding the young players under his care. Assisting Kingston are seasoned football figures, including former Hearts captain Jacob Nettey, a key player in Hearts of Oak’s CAF Champions League victory in 2000.
Nettey’s impressive playing career also includes representing Ghana in the Africa Cup of Nations and the 1996 Summer Olympics. In addition, the technical team will include Nana Agyemang, a CAF Licence A and UEFA Licence B holder, who has previously coached at various football institutions such as Adenta United, Barbarossa Academy, the Lizzy Sports Complex Academy, and ProGen Football Club.
The new technical team has been tasked with building a strong squad for upcoming tournaments, including the WAFU B U-17 Cup of Nations in Accra 2024 and the TotalEnergies U-17 Africa Cup of Nations. With their combined experience and expertise, the Black Starlets are in capable hands as they prepare for future competitions.
