The Ghana Football Association has announced the dismissal of Otto Addo as head coach of the senior national team, the Black Stars.
The decision follows a disappointing run of results during the March international window. Ghana lost 2–1 to Germany national football team in Stuttgart, just days after suffering a heavy 5–1 defeat to Austria national football team.
After the loss to Germany, an emergency meeting was held involving the Football Association, the Sports Ministry and the coach to review the team’s performance and decide the next step.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the GFA confirmed that Addo’s appointment had been terminated with immediate effect.
“The Ghana Football Association has parted ways with the Head Coach of the senior men’s national team, Otto Addo, effective immediately,” the statement said.
The Association thanked Addo for his service and contributions to Ghanaian football and wished him well in his future career.
The GFA added that plans for a new technical direction for the Black Stars will be announced soon.
Ghana are scheduled to play friendly matches against Mexico national football team and Wales national football team in May as part of their preparations for the upcoming FIFA World Cup in North America.
