Former Black Stars midfielder and Right to Dream Academy trainer Laryea Kingston is advocating for a five-year development plan for the various nationals team in order to return to glory days.
The various national teams including the Black Stars have failed to live up to expectation in recent times and according to the former Hearts of Oak and Great Olympics winger, the country can be competitive again on the continent if the GFA is able to develop a long-term plan.
“We need a long term planning, let say 5-year plan. Currently, people will say the U-17 team is not performing, recently they went to the WAFU in Togo and failed to qualify.” He told Kwaku Sarpong Sarkodie of Bryt FM in Koforidua.
“Once they have failed, they will have to wait for two more years. So I think this is the time the Ghana FA must start developing the U-17 team for the next two years. They should go and do good recruitment, scouting and then keep them in camp-like our time.”
He added that the country’s struggle in recent tournaments can change if the leadership of the GFA is able to adhere to his words.
“With a long-term team building, I think we will have the rhythm and definitely, we will achieve something. So it’s all about team building, we have a long term planning,” he said.
