The Ghana Football Association (GFA) Communications Director, Henry Asante-Twum, has revealed that Otto Addo\u2019s future as head coach of the Black Stars is under intense scrutiny, with some Executive Council members questioning his suitability for the role.<\/p>\n
This follows Ghana\u2019s failure to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) for the first time in over 20 years, a historic disappointment for the nation.Speaking to Joy FM, Asante-Twum disclosed that the nearly five-hour meeting between Addo and the Executive Council on November 20, 2024, revealed a divide among members regarding the coach\u2019s future.<\/p>\n
During the meeting, Addo presented a detailed report addressing the team\u2019s underwhelming performance in the AFCON qualifiers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere were members who argued that they do not believe he [Otto Addo] is the right man to take the team to the next level, including the World Cup qualifiers and future tournaments, despite his long-term contract,\u201d Asante-Twum said.<\/p>\n
He added that another faction of the council felt that with the right support, including a revamped management team and backroom staff, Addo could still succeed.<\/p>\n
However, skepticism remained. \u201cIf you play six matches and are unable to win a single one, then what is the point? We have to move on without him,\u201d one faction reportedly argued. <\/p>\n
Ghana finished bottom of Group F in the AFCON qualifiers, collecting just three points from six matches, marking an unprecedented low for the national team.<\/p>\n
Addo\u2019s continued role now hinges on further consultations and decisions by the GFA and its stakeholders.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
