The Ghana Football Association (GFA) are set to announce former Ghanaian international Laryea Kingston as the new head coach of the Ghana men U-17 national team.
The Black Starlets were under the tutelage of experience gaffer Paa Kwasi Fabin but got jettisoned after failing to qualify them to the next AFCON having suffered a semi final eviction in the recently ended WAFU Zone B U-17 Cup of Nations which was held in Cape Coast.
The two time world champions are yet to feature in any major tournament with their last appearance happening to be the 2017 U17 AFCON and World Cup which was staged in Gabon and India respectively.
With this, the Ghana FA feels the team will need a new technical direction to start a different project and have settled on the former Black Stars winger as the right man for the role.
Laryea Kingston, having retired from the game in 2015, the ex- Vitesse Arnhem winger ventured into coaching where he successfully completed his course and joined Right to Dream Academy in 2019 as their youth team gaffer- arguably the best football academy on the continent.
Notably, he led them together with their sister club and Danish giants FC Nordsjaelland youth team to clinch the J-League Youth Cup in Japan.
