Otto Addo could be sacked should Black Stars suffer a drubbing defeat against Germany
Otto Addo could face dismissal tonight if Ghana suffers another heavy defeat against Germany, according to Asempa FM. The report suggests that another poor result could prompt a review of Addo's position.
This follows Ghana's 5-1 loss to Austria last Friday in Vienna, the first of two international friendlies scheduled for this window. At the Ernst Happel Stadium, Austria seized early control when Marcel Sabitzer converted a 12th-minute penalty after a handball by Ghana defender Jonas Adjetey. The hosts extended their lead in the second half through goals from Michael Gregoritsch and Stefan Posch. Ghana managed a late consolation when Jordan Ayew struck in the 77th minute, but Austria quickly reasserted dominance. Substitutes Carney Chukwuemeka and Nicolas Seiwald added further goals to complete the emphatic victory.
Attention now turns to Ghana's final friendly against Germany in Stuttgart tonight. The technical team, led by Addo, has been tasked with delivering a marked improvement in performance. Kick off for the game is slated for 18:45 GMT. Following this window, the Black Stars are scheduled to face Mexico in May and Wales in June before heading to the tournament, where they will compete in Group L alongside Panama, England, and Croatia.
