The Ghana Football Association has sacked Otto Addo as head coach of the Black Stars following a disappointing run of results in recent international friendlies.
The decision follows Ghana’s humiliating 5–1 defeat to Austria and a 2–1 loss to Germany, results that extended Addo’s losing streak to four consecutive matches and heightened concerns about the team’s direction.
Otto Addo’s exit comes at a crucial period as Ghana prepares for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, to be hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico. Ghana has been drawn into a challenging group alongside Panama, England and Croatia.
In a statement, the Association expressed its appreciation to Otto Addo for his contribution to the team and wished him well in his future endeavours.
“The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has parted ways with the Head Coach of the senior men’s national team (Black Stars), Otto Addo, effective immediately. The Association wishes to thank Otto Addo sincerely for his contribution to the team and wishes him the best of luck in his future endeavours.”
The Ghana Football Association indicated that it will, in due course, communicate the new technical direction of the Black Stars.

Experience is always the best teacher. Was it automatic for Ghana to have won
I suggest a good technical committee should be formed to help the coach with directives rather.
