They said they wanted someone who is a proven winner and Otto Addo is not a proven winner in any way. They even said they wanted a proven winner in coaching a top men\u2019s national team and he does not have that record.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey said the person must have a football philosophy that aligns with or complement\u2019s our DNA, and I don\u2019t know what our DNA is. They also demanded that he must hold the highest football license and I don\u2019t know his license but I suspect he must have one and he is also required to have fifteen years of top coaching experience and I don\u2019t think he has that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jerome Otchere further told Selorm Adonoo that Otto Addo\u2019s tenure with Ghana would serve as an opportunity for him to gain senior-level coaching experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe last one is that he must have a proven track record in reconstruction, organisation, and development of young talents, and to be fair to him, he is now going to start that with us.\u201d<\/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>Football pundit Jerome Otchere has raised concerns regarding the appointment of Otto Addo as the new head coach of the Black Stars.
