Kingston was appointed head coach of the Black Starlets in April 2024 ahead of the WAFU Zone B U-17 Championship hosted in Ghana. His tenure, however, was short-lived.

Despite guiding the team to the semifinals, Ghana fell 2 - 1 to Burkina Faso, missing out on a place in the final.

In a surprise move after the defeat, Kingston announced his resignation from the role, citing undisclosed concerns surrounding the setup.

Since stepping away from the Black Starlets, Kingston has continued to build his coaching credentials abroad.

He spent time working in the United States and is currently in charge of all Uganda’s junior national teams, a role that has further broadened his experience at the youth development level.

Now, with his profile growing and his passion for national service undiminished, Kingston’s comments suggest a willingness to return to the Ghanaian setup, provided the structures, support and working conditions are right.
