Black Stars head coach Otto Addo has expressed his commitment to building a disciplined and cohesive team founded on accountability and trust.
This came to light during a meeting with the Executive Council of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) on Wednesday, November 27, 2024.
The GFA confirmed in a statement released on Friday, November 29, that the 47-year-old coach presented a comprehensive 56-page Technical Report following the team’s failure to qualify for AFCON 2025.
“Coach Otto Addo accepted full responsibility for the team’s poor performance and acknowledged some shortcomings,” a portion of the FA statement said.
According to the GFA, the report detailed the challenges faced by the team and was thoroughly reviewed by members of the Executive Council and regional chairmen. Addo also provided additional insights into the issues raised.
“He went on to outline key areas that needed enhancement going forward. He indicated that he intends to build a strong and cohesive system that fosters discipline, accountability, and trust among players and the backroom staff while emphasizing a clear and recognizable playing philosophy.”
The Executive Council shared the nation’s disappointment over the Black Stars’ recent performances, urging Addo to rise to the challenge of delivering better results in the ongoing World Cup qualifiers.
To address the team’s struggles, the GFA pledged to work closely with stakeholders to develop a comprehensive strategy aimed at restoring the Black Stars to their former glory.
However, Addo’s future as head coach remains uncertain. While some Executive Council members called for his dismissal, others advocated for his retention.
As discussions continue, the fate of Otto Addo and the direction of the Black Stars hang in the balance.
