Former midfield supremo Laryea Kingston is coaching the iconic Ghanaian academy Right to Dream at the globally-renowed 2019 J League International Youth Cup in Japan.

The ex-Ghana star is leading the Akosombo-based football grooming school at the tournament in Asia as part of their annual international competitions they partrticipate in.

The former Black Stars player has selected 21 players he has travelled with for the tournament being played in the city of Nagano.

The SuperSport television pundit is venturing into coaching and match analysis after retiring from the game following over two decades of his football career.

He played in Ghana, Italy, Libya, Russia, Israel and Scotland before joining the Right to Dream academy to learn how to train the next generation of footballers.

He also already visited Danish side Nordsjaelland to join the coaching staff for two weeks as part of his training to become a coach as their feeder academy in Ghana.

Right to Dream have been drawn in Group A of the eight-team international tournament they won last year after impressing in the competition by defeating Ulsan 2-0 in the final.

They will face home sides Fukuoka and Nagoya  as well as South Korean club Gwangju.

Brazilian giants Flamengo have been drawn in Group B to play Swedish club BK Hacken and home teams Gamba Osaka and Omiya.
