Former Ghana U-17 head coach Laryea Kingston has revealed that his decision to step down was driven by an “unhealthy environment” within the team. Kingston’s resignation came after the Black Starlets failed to qualify for the U-17 Africa Cup of Nations, despite playing good football leading up to the WAFU B U-17 tournament. Kingston has since taken on a new role as head coach at RPS Academies in the United States, where he aims to develop young talent.
