"I could have done better"- Laryea Kingston on Black Starlets job resignation

Laryea Kingston released a press statement and expressed remorse to Ghana Football Association President Kurt Okraku and the Executive Council for his unfair reaction.

"I apologise unreservedly for our failure to pay back the trust, love and support we have graciously received from Ghanaians," Kingston stated.
" Concerning any other issue about my personal conduct, with suggestions that I abandoned the team following last Saturday's semi-final defeat to Burkina Faso, I state unmistakably, that my announcement during the post-match press conference was without ambiguity that my role as coach with the team ends after the tournament."

He continued, "To the President and the Exco, I also want to unreservedly and sincerely apologize for any misunderstanding, inconvenience and embarrassment my decision to announce my resignation last Saturday caused."

"After careful consideration, I could have handled things better and this will be a guiding experience for me going forward," Kingston added. "I love my nation, I served my nation as a player, and I have been serving my nation as a coach."

The Black Starlets in the absence of Laryea Kingston faced Nigeria in the final game on Tuesday afternoon losing 3-2 to miss out on the third place.
Ghana will be waiting for an official confirmation from CAF on the number of teams to represent the continent at the next U17 FIFA World Cup.
