Dr. Randy Abbey, the Chairman of the Black Stars Management Committee, has officially announced that Otto Addo will continue to serve as the head coach of Ghana’s national football team. This decision, which was made by the Ghana Football Association (GFA), is part of a strategic effort to maintain stability and focus on securing the Black Stars’ qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Despite the team’s recent failure to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco, the GFA has decided to retain Otto Addo as the head coach. This decision comes in the face of widespread criticism from fans and pundits alike, who had called for Addo’s dismissal following the team’s disappointing performance.
In an interview with Original FM, Dr. Abbey reiterated the GFA’s commitment to Otto Addo, stating that the focus is now on the upcoming World Cup qualifiers. He acknowledged the team’s recent underwhelming performances and stressed the importance of reversing this negative trend to restore the Black Stars to their winning ways.
“We are committed to addressing the poor results that led to the team’s AFCON failure. Our goal is to change the course and bring the Black Stars back to their glory days,” Dr. Abbey stated emphatically.
The Black Stars, who have participated in the World Cup four times since their debut in 2006, will be aiming for their fifth appearance in the global tournament. To strengthen the team’s chances of success, the GFA plans to revamp the technical team by potentially replacing the current assistant coaches with new personnel. This strategic move is geared towards ensuring a stronger and more competitive Black Stars team as they strive for World Cup success in 2026.
With these developments in place, Ghanaian football fans can look forward to a renewed focus on excellence and a determined effort to secure qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup under the leadership of Otto Addo.
