Ghana have made a decisive managerial change ahead of the World Cup, parting ways with head coach Otto Addo following their latest defeat to Germany.
The Black Stars fell 2-1 in a tightly contested friendly, with Deniz Undav striking late after Issahaku Fatawu had earlier cancelled out Kai Havertz’s opener.
As a result, the loss extended Ghana’s poor run to four consecutive defeats, ultimately prompting the Ghana Football Association to act.
Despite guiding the team to World Cup qualification, Addo’s second spell in charge has now come to an abrupt end after two years at the helm.
With the tournament fast approaching, Ghana are now in a race against time to appoint a new leader who can steady the squad.
In an official statement, the federation confirmed the decision.
“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 statement read.
“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.
“The Ghana Football Association will communicate the new technical direction of the Black Stars in due course.”
Looking ahead, Ghana face a challenging group that includes England, Croatia, and Panama. Notably, their clash with England is set for June 23 in Foxborough, adding extra intrigue to their preparations.
As the World Cup countdown continues, the Black Stars’ next move will be crucial.
With momentum slipping, the focus now shifts to finding the right manager to reignite belief and deliver when it matters most.
