Seasoned Sports Journalist, Jerome Otchere, has criticized both the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and Laryea Kingston for their mishandling of the latter\u2019s departure following the team\u2019s loss to Burkina Faso in the semifinals of the ongoing WAFU Zone B U17 Championship.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s over!

Press Statement: RE \u2013 Laryea Kingston https:\/\/t.co\/72CqbcjADy<\/a><\/p>\n

\nIn response to Kingston\u2019s resignation, the GFA issued a statement condemning his behaviour and accusing him of misconduct.<\/p>\n

In an exclusive interview with Citi Sports, Jerome Otchere described the actions of both parties as unprofessional.<\/p>\n

He highlighted Kingston\u2019s temperament and criticized the GFA\u2019s response as an emotional reaction, suggesting that neither side handled the situation appropriately.<\/p>\n

I think that we have to respect Laryea\u2019s decision, but it is not a decision some of us like, many of the fans i have heard on this issue also don\u2019t like it.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m particularly concerned about the mood of his exit, i don\u2019t like he carried it out well even if he had decided long ago based on the interview he granted.<\/p>\n

I think he could have conducted his departure in a more descent manner than how i have seen it.<\/p>\n

I have read a correspondence from the FA on his resignation and it is as bad as Laryea\u2019s decision to quit and the mood and the style he chose to do it.<\/p>\n

I am saying that off the FA is bad in the sense that much as they can\u2019t do anything in bringing Laryea back, they [GFA] could have just taken one or two lines in accepting Laryea\u2019s resignation and keeping the focus on the rest of the team\u2019s work in the competition, then afterwards address the issue properly.<\/p>\n

For me it was more like an emotional reaction to Laryea\u2019s conduct which they find unacceptable and for an organisation, i don\u2019t think it speaks well of them [Ghana Football Association].<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know exactly what the problems are, he has said that he will come out and speak about the issue later, but clearly certain things have not gone well between him [Laryea Kingston]<\/strong> and the Ghana Football Association.<\/p>\n

Ghana\u2019s Black Starlets will not participate in next year\u2019s AFCON after losing again to Burkina Faso in the semi-finals of the WAFU Zone B U17 AFCON on Saturday.<\/p>\n

For the second time, the Black Starlets have been defeated by Burkina Faso in the semi-finals of the WAFU Zone B U17 Qualifiers.<\/p>\n

The previous encounter also ended in a 1-0 loss, held at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium.<\/p>\n

Following this recent defeat, tensions have escalated between Laryea Kingston and the Ghana Football Association. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Association issued a statement on Sunday morning, condemning Laryea Kingston\u2019s conduct as unprofessional.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Black Starlets held their recovery training session on Sunday morning at the Accra Sports Stadium led by First Team Assistant Coach Nana Agyemang. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Black Starlets will play Nigeria in the 3rd place play-offs on Tuesday, May 28, 2024, at the University of Ghana, Legon Stadium.<\/strong><\/p>\n
