Ghana sacks Black Stars coach, Otto Addo after back-to-back defeats

The Ghana Football Association, GFA, has sacked head coach, Otto Addo just three months before the 2026 FIFA World Cup, plunging the Black Stars into uncertainty at a critical juncture of their preparations.

The decision, confirmed in a statement issued in the early hours of Tuesday, came hours after Ghana’s friendly 2-1 defeat to Germany at the MHP Arena in Stuttgart.

This follows Ghana’s friendly 5-1 defeat to Austria last Friday.

“The decision takes immediate effect,” the GFA said, adding that a “new technical direction” for the national team would be announced in due course.

Addo has led the Black Stars for 2 years and 16 days, with a record of 8 wins, 5 draws, and 9 losses.
