Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has delivered a damning verdict on Black Stars Head Coach, Otto Addo’s record with the team.

Otto Addo’s Black Stars infamously failed to qualify for the 2025 AFCON in Morocco, finishing bottom of their qualifying group, without a single win.

The record low has seen the Ghana Football Association shakeup the Black Stars technical team, with a number of changes, although Otto Addo maintains his job as Head Coach - a decision the Sports Minister finds baffling.

“The data is very poor, in fact it’s terrible. Looking at only the data, there is no way he [Otto Addo] should’ve stayed on. 

“The GFA took a decision to do away with those around him, but what was surprising was that the Head Coach was maintained. 

“Maybe something informed that decision. 

“It may be financial, but an engagement with the GFA will certainly let us know what led to that decision,” he told Accra based Metro TV.

Ghana will take on Chad and Madagascar in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers next month, their first outing since the AFCON qualification disappointment.
