Former Sports Minister slams decision to sack Otto Addo [Audio]
Vincent Oppong Asamoah has sharply criticised the Ghana Football Association (GFA) over the dismissal of Otto Addo. The GFA confirmed Addo's departure on Monday, March 31, following consecutive losses to Austria and Germany in pre-World Cup friendlies. Oppong Asamoah said, "Is it because the team couldn't score against Germany that Otto Addo was asked to leave? This is the wrong time, a bad strategy, and a very poor decision. It does not demonstrate proper leadership or clear planning from the GFA."
Oppong Asamoah suggested the decision lacked strategic foresight. He warned, "Many fans are personally funding their trips to cheer on the Black Stars. We cannot toy with the heart of the Ghanaian public. It's a risky move." He acknowledged that a new coach could potentially guide Ghana to better results, but stressed that the process must be thoughtful. He noted, "We need a replacement who can be widely accepted and help Ghana achieve success at the World Cup."
The GFA has reportedly received applications from over 600 local and international coaches for the vacant position. President Kurt Okraku confirmed that a new head coach is expected to be announced within the next two weeks.
