Former Ghana international Laryea Kingston has delivered a stark assessment of the Black Stars, bluntly declaring that the team “don’t have a team at the moment.”
In a candid call for realism, Kingston is urging Ghanaian football authorities to embrace honesty about the current situation and commit to a genuine long-term rebuilding strategy. He specifically advocates for hiring a coach on a minimum five-year contract to provide the stability needed to prepare properly for the next World Cup cycle.
Kingston, who now serves as coach of Uganda’s youth teams, believes the focus should shift away from chasing immediate success at the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations. Instead, he emphasizes the importance of patient squad rebuilding, addressing key weaknesses such as squad depth and longstanding midfield problems. His frank remarks echo wider concerns among fans and analysts about the national team’s lack of cohesion and the urgent need for sustained leadership and structural change if Ghana is to return to its former glory on the continental and global stage.
