In an unexpected turn of events, former Ghana international and Borussia Dortmund talent coach Otto Addo is set to take on the head coaching role for the Black Stars. This announcement comes after the 2022 FIFA World Cup, where Addo previously served as the head coach before departing to take a permanent position at Dortmund. The Black Stars have been without a head coach since Chris Hughton’s departure during the Africa Cup of Nations, where the team failed to advance past the group stage.
Borussia Dortmund revealed on social media that they will be parting ways with Addo at the end of the current Bundesliga season to allow him to pursue his new role with the Ghanaian national team. The club expressed their support for Addo’s decision and wished him success in this new chapter of his coaching career. The Ghana Football Association also confirmed Addo’s appointment, highlighting his exceptional performance during the interview process and the endorsement of the search committee.
Addo, who was born in Germany, had a successful playing career with Borussia Dortmund, representing the club for six seasons. His time at Dortmund overlapped with his tenure as a player for the Ghana national team, showcasing his talent and dedication to both club and country. Following his stint with Dortmund, Addo went on to play for Hannover, Mainz, and VfL Hamburg before retiring from professional football in 2008.
As Otto Addo prepares to lead the Ghana National Team as head coach, his extensive experience in football, both as a player and a coach, will be invaluable in guiding the team to new heights. With a 34-month contract ahead of him, Addo has the opportunity to make a lasting impact on Ghanaian football and elevate the Black Stars to success on the international stage. Ghanaian football fans eagerly anticipate the start of this new era under the leadership of Otto Addo.
