Black Starlets skipper Benjamin Tsivanyo has downplayed the impact of coach Laryea Kingston's resignation on the team's performance during the WAFU Zone B Championship in Accra.

Following the team's defeat to Burkina Faso in the semifinals of the tournament, former Black Stars winger Laryea Kingston shockingly resigned from his role as coach.

In an interview with Kessben FM,  Tsivanyo, who plies his trade for Great Olympics, asserted that Kingston's resignation did not adversely affect the team.

"His resignation did not affect us. We've learned a lot from him, so in his absence, we can execute what he taught us," Tsivanyo remarked confidently. "We are not all that worried because certain things happen.

In football, you can't work with only one coach, so we will move on with what he taught us."

Ghana ultimately settled for fourth place after a defeat to rivals Nigeria in the third-place playoff, culminating in a disappointing 2-3 loss at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium.

Despite aiming for gold, the Black Starlets' aspirations were dashed after their defeat in the semifinals to Burkina Faso, who went on to win the tournament.

The Black Starlets had hoped to secure qualification to the AFCON U17 for the first time in seven years.

However, their hopes were extinguished after finishing fourth in the WAFU tournament, which served as qualifiers for the AFCON.
