General Secretary of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Prosper Harrison Addo, has argued that Otto Addo was never a bad coach for the Black Stars.<\/p>\n

Addo, 47, was appointed as the head trainer for the Black Stars after the dismissal of Milovan Rajevac after Ghana\u2019s shambolic performance at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cameroon.<\/p>\n

The Black Stars failed to record a win and finished at the bottom of their group with just one point.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Addo qualified the Black Stars for the Mundial in Qatar after beating Nigeria in the playoff games.<\/p>\n

However, the Black Stars recorded just a win and finished at the bottom of Group H after three games.<\/p>\n

Following Ghana\u2019s failure to perform at the World Cup, the leadership of the Football Association were criticized for keeping Otto Addo, who works as Borussia Dortmund\u2019s talent coach.<\/p>\n

Speaking in an interview, Mr Harrison Addo praised the former Ghana international and insisted he was never a bad coach despite the Black Stars\u2019 failure at the Mundial.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can confidently say that no one can convince me he was a bad coach for Ghana. He brought in fresh ideas, tactical acumen, and a deep understanding of the game,\u201d he told Asempa FM<\/strong> on the Ultimate Sports Show<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was the assistant coach so he knew the team same was the case with C.K Akonnor.<\/p>\n

\u201cCoaching the national team is different from club side, Mourinho was asked about coaching the Portugal national team and he cited the huge differences between coaching the two.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can ask everybody on the national team including the players, and they will tell you Otto Addo was top-notch.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also emphasised that Ghanaian coaches are appreciated outside the shores of Ghana.<\/p>\n

\u201cGhanaian coaches are good and are appreciated outside the country,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Otto Addo left his role following the country\u2019s early elimination. He has been replaced by Chris Hughton, who served as the technical advisor of the team.<\/p>\n
