The Ghana Football Association (GFA) is poised to announce a decision on the future of Black Stars head coach Otto Addo and his technical team, following a disastrous campaign that saw the team fail to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
According to GFA Communications Manager Henry Asante Twum, consultations with the Ministry of Sports and other stakeholders have been concluded, and recommendations have been submitted to the GFA Executive Committee.
Speaking to Akoma 87.9 FM, Asante Twum revealed that the decision will be made public soon.
“The consultations on Otto Addo and his backroom staff have been completed. There have been divergent views from the government, the ministry, our partners, and the coaching staff. Certain recommendations have been made, and very soon, the FA will announce the decision concerning the coach and his team,” he stated.
The Black Stars are set to face Chad and Madagascar in March 2025 as part of the FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifiers, and the team will be looking to improve their record after struggling in recent major tournaments.
Ghana’s early exits from the group stages in 2021 and 2023, combined with their failure to qualify for the 2025 tournament, have put pressure on the coaching staff to deliver results.
The GFA’s decision on Otto Addo’s future will be closely watched, as the team prepares for the upcoming qualifiers and seeks to restore pride and competitiveness to Ghanaian football.
