Ghana Olympic Committee President Ben Nunoo Mensah has cast doubts over the “competence” of coach Otto Addo in qualifying Ghana for the 2026 World Cup.
The trainer is under intense pressure for failing to secure a spot at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations to be hosted in Morocco.
The Black Stars finished bottom of Group F with three points - winless in six matches - and missed out on the competition for the first time since 2004.
"I have not been convinced about Otto Addo's coaching prowess, especially against Niger," he told Asempa FM.
"In crucial games, the matches are being won by the coaches and judging by the games we have played in the AFCON and what I expected from him, I don't think he is competently good enough to qualify Ghana for the 2026 World Cup.”
Addo has submitted his technical report to the Ghana Football Association Executive Council following the AFCON qualification disappointment.
The football governing body has deliberated on the 49-year-old’s future and now seeks the government’s input for a final decision.
Up next for the Black Stars are the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar in March 2025.
