Clearly, on paper, apart from the fact that we have now had the benefit of hindsight that Chris couldn\u2019t perform, ahead of appointing Chris and Otto Addo, clearly, Chris was far ahead of Otto Addo in terms of experience and everything but the GFA quickly flew to Germany to negotiate with Atto Addo while some government officials were flirting with Chris, so clearly, it has been their choice all these while and so I am not surprised.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He, however, told Selorm Adonoo that the only positive aspect of the appointment is the unprecedented three-year mandate given Otto Addo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe positive aspect of it is the three years that they are giving him because he will have the time to plan. I don\u2019t remember the last time a Black Stars coach was given a three-year mandate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Otto Addo\u2019s first competitive matches will be in June, when the Black Stars will play Mali and the Central African Republic in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU: https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Head of Sports at Despite Media, Dan Kweku Yeboah, has stated that Otto Addo has always been a favourite of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and that he is not surprised he has been reappointed to lead the Black Stars.
