If we don&#8217;t take the team from him, it will be too late. If we don&#8217;t sack Otto Addo, we won&#8217;t qualify for the AFCON and World Cup. People&#8217;s dreams of traveling to the US will not come to pass.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Akufo-Addo did not do well by allowing the GFA to appoint Otto Addo. The government must act now before it&#8217;s too late for the country. The FA must also go. They want Ghana&#8217;s downfall. Otto Addo is not a good coach; we should fire him now,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Otto Addo\u2019s future has become a subject of concern following Ghana\u2019s poor performance in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.<\/p>\n<p>The Black Stars are yet to win any of their four matches, with two draws and two defeats so far.<\/p>\n<p>Ghana lost to Angola at home and bowed to Sudan away on October 15, 2024, in Libya. The Black Stars drew with Sudan at home on October 10 and also drew with Niger.<\/p>\n<p>With two points from the games, Ghana is third while Angola leads the group with ten points from four matches. Sudan is second with seven points.<\/p>\n<p><b>Watch the latest edition of Weekend Sports Recap below:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"0tr8bcvw47Y\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Weekend Sports Recap:  Performance of Ghanaian players abroad and the Ghana Premier League\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0tr8bcvw47Y?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>EK<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ace sports presenter, Patrick Osei Agyemang, alias Countryman Songo Ace sports presenter, Patrick Osei Agyemang, alias Countryman Songo, has urged President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to order the dismissal of Black Stars coach, Otto Addo.
