Laryea Kingston confirms interest in Black Stars coaching job

Former Ghana international Laryea Kingston has confirmed his interest in becoming the next head coach of the Black Stars after Carlos Queiroz's departure. The Black Stars coaching position has become vacant after Queiroz resigned on October 1, 2026, following Ghana's disappointing start to the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign. The Ghana Football Association and Ministry of Sports and Recreation have since formed a five-member committee to identify and recommend a new coach. According to reports, Kingston has now made it clear that he would welcome the opportunity to take charge of the senior national team. Ex-players, journalists call on Dede Ayew to declare GFA Presidency bid Earlier in July 2026, the former Hearts of Oak player made his intentions clear while speaking on World Cup Daily on Joy Prime TV. "I'm a Ghanaian, and I would love to hear that call [from the FA to come and coach the team]. There is no better joy than helping your country," Kingston said. The 45-year-old has since been building his coaching career after retiring from playing, including a spell as head coach of Ghana's Black Starlets. He currently works with Uganda's youth national teams. Kingston represented Ghana at senior level during the country's rise in the mid-2000s. He featured at the 2006 and 2008 Africa Cup of Nations tournaments and was part of the generation that helped Ghana establish itself as one of Africa's leading football nations.
