Otto Addo sacked as Black Stars coach after pre-World Cup friendlies defeat to Austria and Germany
Otto Addo was sacked as head coach of the Black Stars, bringing an end to his tenure after less than three years in charge. The decision follows Ghana's back-to-back defeats in their March international friendlies against Austria and Germany. The FA confirmed the immediate nature of the decision in a statement released on Monday.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) stated, "The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has parted ways with the Head Coach of the senior men's national team (Black Stars), Otto Addo, effective immediately." The Association also said, "The Association wishes to thank Otto Addo sincerely for his contribution to the team and wishes him the best of luck in his future endeavours." Addo's exit represents yet another shift in the Black Stars' technical structure as preparations intensify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) will communicate the new technical direction of the Black Stars in due course. Ghana face a demanding task at the tournament, having been drawn alongside England, Croatia and Panama in a challenging group. The competition is set to be hosted across the United States, Canada and Mexico.
