The Ghana Football Association has officially announced the dismissal of Otto Addo as head coach of the senior national team, the Black Stars.
The decision comes in the wake of a disappointing run of results during the March international window. Ghana suffered a 2-1 defeat to Germany national football team in Stuttgart, just days after a heavy 5-1 loss to Austria national football team.
Following the defeat in Germany, an emergency meeting involving the Football Association, the Sports Ministry, and the coach was convened to review the team’s performance and determine the next course of action.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the GFA confirmed the immediate termination of Addo’s appointment.
“The Ghana Football Association has parted ways with the Head Coach of the senior men’s national team, Otto Addo, effective immediately,” the statement read.
The Association expressed appreciation for Addo’s service, thanking him for his contributions to Ghanaian football and wishing him success in his future endeavours.
The GFA also noted that plans regarding a new technical direction for the Black Stars will be announced in due course.
Ghana’s national team is scheduled to face Mexico national football team and Wales national football team in May as part of their final preparations ahead of the upcoming FIFA World Cup in North America.
