Former Black Starlets head coach Laryea Kingston has been appointed the new head coach of Uganda’s junior national teams.
Kingston has been handed the role of developing all of the country’s junior football teams for the next two years.
The former Black Stars player was unveiled on Wednesday, October 8, by the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) after signing his new deal.
“FUFA CEO Edgar Watson has today unveiled Laryea Kingston as the Head coach of all Uganda National Men Football Junior Teams for the next 2 years,” a statement on the federation’s social media page read.
“Laryea is a Ghanaian with UEFA A and CAF B coaching license holder.
“Brian Ssenyondo will remain the head coach of the U17 team ahead of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, due next month.
“He had earlier informed FUFA this would be his final assignment at the U17 level, but would be available for consideration at other levels of National teams.”
He will take charge of the U-17 and U-20 men’s teams until 2027.
Kingston previously worked with Ghana’s U-17 team for two years before eventually embarking on a managerial role in the United States with RPS Academies.
He was the head coach of the Black Starlets during the WAFU B U-17 Cup of Nations, which was staged in Ghana last year.
