Former Bolton Wanderers players and now football pundit Michael Potter has thrown his weight behind Laryea Kingston to be a good addition to the Black Stars technical team.

The Ghanaian-based English businessman believes the technical acumen of the former Hearts of Oak midfielder makes him one of the best technicians who can provide good assistance to CK Akonnor.

Potter becomes the second person to have called for Laryea’s inclusion in the Black Stars technical team after the President of the Sports Writers’ Association of Ghana Kwabena Yeboah tipped the former Black Stars midfielder to be the head coach of the Black Stars in future.

Following Laryeah’s response that he will accept to assist Akonnor in any capacity on the Black Stars technical team, Potter believes Laryea can be a good addition to the team.

“It would be great to see Laryea Kingston given an opportunity to become part of the Black Stars coaching set up in the future when the time is right for the national team and current manager CK Annor,” he said in a formal write up to footballmadeinghana.com.

“Having got to know Laryea over the last 5 years or so during our TV football punditry work, I believe he has the right credentials and experience  to add value to the current coaching set up,” he added.

“For me, I think he would be a great asset in working with the newcomers and younger players in the national team as he has the right attitude and ability to pass on his knowledge and experience to the younger up and coming stars of the future.

“Who knows? Laryea could become a future manager of the Black Stars.
