Former Ghana international Laryea Kingston says he remains open to coaching any of the country’s national teams in the future, but only if the right structures and working conditions are in place.
Kingston, a former Hearts of Oak winger and Black Stars regular, was appointed head coach of the Black Starlets in April 2024 ahead of the Wafu Zone B Under-17 Championship, which Ghana hosted. Hopes were high, but the young Black Starlets fell short of the title after a 2-1 semi-final defeat to Burkina Faso.
In the aftermath of that loss, Kingston made a surprise decision to step down from his role, bringing his short spell in charge to an abrupt end.
Since leaving the Black Starlets, the 44-year-old has continued his coaching journey abroad. He has worked in the United States and is currently serving as head coach of all Uganda’s junior national teams, a role that has kept him closely involved in youth development on the international stage.
Despite his current commitments, Kingston insists his door remains open to Ghana.
“I’m a Ghanaian, and anytime the opportunity comes to coach any national team, I will,” he told Sporty FM. “If the environment is conducive for me, I’ll take the offer.”
His comments underline a willingness to return, but also reflect broader concerns often raised by coaches about structures, support systems and professionalism within Ghana’s football setup.
For now, Kingston continues his work with Uganda’s youth teams, but his message is clear: a return to serve Ghana remains possible if the conditions are right.
