The Ghana national football team has dismissed head coach Otto Addo, a decision made with just over 70 days remaining before the World Cup. This abrupt change comes after a concerning period of four consecutive losses for the Black Stars, most recently a 2-1 defeat to Germany and a prior 5-1 thrashing by Austria.
Otto Addo, re-appointed in March 2024, was tasked with revitalizing a team caught between experienced players and emerging talent.
