Badu, renowned for his fervent passion and commitment to Ghanaian football, firmly believes that Ghana should steer clear of a revolving door of coaching changes and instead focus on unity and patience in supporting Addo.
Speaking in an interview, Badu emphasized the importance of continuity, stating, “If you sack him and bring in another coach, and after two or three games things aren’t going well, what will we do – sack him again?” He highlighted the detrimental effects of constant upheaval, noting that it could hinder the team’s ability to establish the stability and cohesion necessary for success on the global stage. Badu’s message was clear: “Ghanaians need to stand behind him; we need to support the Black Stars and the GFA.”
With firsthand experience of the rigors and demands of international football, Badu sees promise in Otto Addo’s leadership. He affirmed, “He still has my full support, and we need to give him a chance to demonstrate what he can do for us.”
