The Ghana Football Association (GFA) is poised to officially reintroduce Otto Addo as the new head coach of the Black Stars on Friday, March 15, 2024.
As reported by the Ghanaian sports website, footballghana, the GFA has offered Addo a long-term contract to lead the national team. This decision follows the dismissal of Chris Hughton due to the Black Stars’ disappointing performance at the AFCON 2023, where Ghana exited the tournament in the group stage without securing a victory in any of their three matches.
Assuming the role, Addo’s initial task will be to prepare the team for upcoming international friendlies against Uganda and Nigeria, scheduled to take place in Marrakech, Morocco, in March 2024. Notably, Addo previously guided the Black Stars to secure qualification for the Qatar 2022 World Cup by defeating the Eagles.
During his previous tenure as Black Stars coach, Addo oversaw 12 matches, achieving four wins, four draws, and four defeats.
