The host of Adom TV's 'Fire for Fire' sports show, Patrick Osei Agyemang, popularly known as Countryman Songo, has strongly criticised Black Stars coach Otto Addo, describing him as an incompetent coach.

According to him, Otto Addo's coaching performance has been a complete failure, hindering the progress and success of the national team.

Speaking on JoyNews' Newsfile on Saturday, he said that despite the national team playing six matches in the qualifiers for AFCON 2025 in Morocco, the coach failed to secure a single victory for the team.

He explained that the team's failure to win a single match out of six was due to the coach's lack of competence.

“A coach who can’t beat even Sudan, Niger, or Angola—you played six matches, and we didn’t win a single one. Not even one. And you tell me we have a future with this coach?” he questioned.

Songo’s comments come after the Black Stars ended their AFCON qualification campaign in Group F with only three points, finishing last in the group.

This marked a historic low for the four-time African champions, who failed to secure a single victory during the group stage.

According to Songo, retaining Otto Addo as the coach is not a viable option for the long-term success of the team.

While he acknowledged the importance of continuity in coaching, he emphasised the need for competence.

“Yes, we want to keep coaches for the long term, but not an incompetent coach,” he stressed.

“If Ghana needs someone to coach the national team, we need the right coach—someone who can turn things around and can transform the team."

He also said that while dissolving the Black Stars Management team would not entirely resolve the issue, he argued that the core problem lies with the coach.

“He [Otto Addo] is not a good coach. He’s incompetent—we’ve seen it. You played against Niger, Angola, and Sudan and couldn’t win a single match. How can you tell me that you’re good for the future,” he quizzed.

Songo called for the immediate dismissal of Otto Addo, noting that Ghana needs a coach with the vision and expertise to restore the Black Stars’ glory.
