Kingson wants coach's explanation for AFCON squad omission
Richard Kingson wants a personal explanation for
why he was dropped from Ghana’s squad for the
2012 Africa Nations Cup in Gabon and Equatorial
Guinea.

The former Blackpool goalkeeper has been a
prominent member of the Black Stars at every major
football competition in the last five years but
was axed because he has been clubless since the
end of last season according to Ghana Coach Goran
Stevanovic.

Media reports had suggested Kingson who last
played for Ghana in June this year had a row with
the coach after he was dropped for the qualifier
against Swaziland, an allegation Kingson has
denied.

He is however furious that Stevanovic did not
speak to him before the decision was made.

“As at now I don’t know why I was not
picked,” he told Radio Gold.

“The coach has not called me to say he has taken
me out for this or that reason and no one at the
GFA has done that too.”I have been the coach’s
first choice since he has been here so its only
fair that he would have spoken to me.

“In Europe when you want to bench a regular
player you give them reasons.”Kingson revealed
he has not spoken to the Serbian since Ghana’s
friendly game against Brazil in early September.
