Ghana’s Minister-designate for Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, says he is worried about discussions regarding the future of Black Stars head coach Otto Addo.
The former Borussia Dortmund technical staff member was a subject of strong criticism after Ghana's failure o qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
However, the Ghana Football Association (GFA), through the Executive Council members, voted for the 49-year-old to keep his position.
There has been a recent revamp to his technical team ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers as the Ghana FA looks to turn things around.
Speaking on Sporty FM, Adams revealed concerns with the doubts around the performance of Addo including ones from players.
"The future of Otto Addo is a matter of concern to me. This concern of stay or not stay is not just coming from the non playing body that is what is of great concern to me," he said.
"Not just the fans but the engagements I have had goes beyond that to even the playing body and some members of GFA (current and former)."
Adams who appeared before Parliament’s Appointments Committee for his vetting on Thursday, 30 January, is expected to be sworn in as the Minister for the Sports and Recreation ministry in the coming days.
