The Ghana Football Association (GFA) is expected to announce a decision on the future of Black Stars head coach Otto Addo and his technical team in the coming days. This development comes after Ghana's disappointing performance in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign, which saw the team fail to qualify for the tournament.
According to reports, discussions involving the Ministry of Sports and other stakeholders have been concluded, with recommendations submitted to the GFA Executive Committee. The GFA Communications Manager, Henry Asante Twum, revealed that the decision will be made public soon, stating that "the consultations on Otto Addo and his backroom staff have been completed, and certain recommendations have been made."
The Black Stars' poor performance in the qualifying campaign has sparked widespread criticism, with many calling for changes to be made to the coaching staff. Ghana's failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations is a significant blow to the team's reputation, particularly given their struggles in major tournaments in recent years.
The team's early exit from the group stages at the 2021 and 2023 tournaments, combined with their failure to qualify for the 2025 tournament, has raised concerns about the team's direction and leadership. As a result, the GFA is under pressure to make changes to the coaching staff and restore the team's competitiveness.
The Black Stars are scheduled to face Chad and Madagascar in March 2025 as part of the FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifiers. The team will be looking to improve their record and make a strong start to their qualifying campaign.
In the meantime, the GFA's decision on Otto Addo's future will be eagerly anticipated by fans and stakeholders. Will the GFA opt to retain Addo and his technical team, or will they decide to make changes in an effort to revitalize the team's fortunes? Only time will tell.
