Black Starlets coach Laryea Kingston has resigned following his team’s defeat in the semi-final match against Burkina Faso, leading to his emotional speech after the game.
The loss means that Ghana will not be participating in the upcoming U17 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) next year, a significant setback for the team and its supporters.
Kingston announced his resignation during the post-match press conference, a decision that has surprised many fans and sports analysts. His departure marks the end of his tenure with the Black Starlets, a period that saw both victories and challenges.
The semi-final game, held at the University of Ghana Stadium, ended with a 2-1 defeat for the Black Starlets. Despite their strong performance in previous matches at the same venue, the team was unable to secure a win against the Burkinabe side, resulting in their elimination from the tournament.
Prior to this defeat, Kingston’s team had demonstrated impressive form, winning two games convincingly at the University of Ghana Stadium. These victories had raised hopes for a successful run in the tournament, making the loss and Kingston’s subsequent resignation all the more impactful for the team and its followers.
