Not nice.
Though it was a friendly game there was no way we could beat Germany.
Oto is npp plug. He will fail at wcup just like a Kwasi Appiah in brasil when majama was president. We need a new coach asap
Korea, Japan, Austria and Germany all losing. Next match is VS Wales. Who will coach the team? Waleed of Morocco?
At this point, the bigger issue seems to be the GFA itself. They’ve hired and fired multiple coaches in a short span, which raises serious questions about their leadership and long-term planning. If the people making those ...

This is not the time for house cleaning. Gfa should be in charge of the local leagues and promoting that. They have failed immensely under okraku. We need a coach that totally divergent off okraku. Anything less will be unciv ...

ST GHFUO. Please try and get us a very good coach.
This is the fault of NDC National Diablo Criminals. The bad luck they brought with the ayew boys who are untalented brought this shame. It's likely they sold the match. Bawumia too, another. We need somebody from the south be ...

You are mad I guessed
How can ape call himself human.
Jordan ayew was the only player i saw on the field yesterday with his master class control. Your hatred for abedi pele will send you to your early grave because no African player has ever brake his record.
Masa Jordan that was always breaking and stop our counter attacks or which one?which match did you watch.Jordan has relegated about 5 England teams
Abgotui Asante Faizal, why don't you take your medication first before you start commenting here.
Hahahahahahahaa
@ abgotui Asante Faizall I pray and hope all is well with you up there.
I don't understand why people are so eager and excited to see the coach fired. A coach can only do so much; the reality is that the quality of our players has declined drastically. The best coach in the world couldn't take a ...

Well, Ghana vs Austria and Ghana vs Germany were like night and day.
Inasmuch as Otto Addo is a Ghanaian and would've been great to see him succeed with the Black Star job, he regrettably lacks the requisite skillset to coach the team and this has been evident although his reign. The GFA just ...

Otto Addo was never the kind of coach to handle a national team like the Black Stars, especially after our poor performance in Qatar, but isn't it too late sacking him now, that is if this is not an early Aprilfool prank?
Well, we can poach him from the Morrocans, just like we poached Ratomir Dujkovic from Rwanda for the 2006 World Cup (after they thrashed us 3-1 on their home grounds).
Do you someone in mind 7up ???
No please. But if 5:1 against Australia was bad 2:1 against Germany is not that bad. Don't be surprised if Germany wins against Australia or the next country Ghana will beat can beat both countries with him as the couch. Didn ...

Counting all the coaches GFA has kicked out… anyone else curious how much that’s cost?
7 up bush man, Ghana Played with Austria not Australia.Ghana Black Star football team is like NDC Party,Only bribe and Stealing
7 Up just spoke on phone with Pius Hadzide the Australian Visa Officer of Asogyaman so you should understand why he said Australia instead of Austria
I don't know how I feel about this development. Otto Addo was never a Black Stars material and should never have been reappointed considering our abysmal performance in Qatar, and he should have been sacked immediately after ...

The country is Austria which is markedly different from Australia. Damn
Kwasia! What has this got to do with party politics? You are just a typical low IQ Ghanaian moron!
You have to cure your mental problem. It is becoming too serious
Stop fooling.

At your age?
Why don't we appoint Asiedu Nketiah as the head coach with Lordina Mahama as the assistant since they are true blooded NDC? Perhaps Zenator, the founders daughter could be the goalkeeper's trainer.
Bring back Kwesi Appiah period!
I don't think football is our priority at the moment. We need schools, hospitals, roads, agriculture etc. We should learn to use our money wisely.
You only think so because we're not doing well. Lol
Otto shouldn’t have been brought back after he left the Team after a disastrous Brazil WC showing .. demonstrated he had no time for the Team
Stupid country. You have spoiled his German career.
Coach Ibrahim Tanko can take black star far!
NO NO NO dis doesn't make any sense
Appiah Stadium is still at post.
Gh sports ministry is to blame. Trainer scout as coach whay were you expecting? Prayer and miracles lol Oto don't even know the national anthem. All this tike still losing all your friendly matches you lose...why? Tibonko
Timing
Hallelujah!!!!!
With the NDC the Black Stars need no coach. Nation Prophet Owusu Bempah has caged the Soccer World Cup in the Jubilee House.
Good riddance....let him take the useless texhnical bench with him. now who are we bringing on board? The Moroccan coach? Waleed
Just maybe my interest in the black stars team will peak again after this development.
It’s been such a horrific spectacle with all these losses and it took the GFA only now to see?
Better late than never I guess.
This changes nothing for the blackstars. It is not him playing the football. The team is just not good enough at the international level. Odwan
Coaching is like being a Chef. Give 3 chefs the same ingredients to make a sumptuous meal and you will know the impact coaches have on players
Fair point. But there is a reason why they say "timing is everything". And considering the world trump cup is right around the corner, is this the time to be trying out a new coach?
Disclaimer, I don't know much about the in ...

Too much corruption

It's easy to sack Otto Addo. What happens to Ministers, Directors and heads of institutions who stealing money everyday all their life?
The likes of Otto Addo will always be sacrificed for the gargantuan wrongdoing of corr ...

Okraku didn't fire Oto. The sports minister and Mahama did. We need a coach who is totally divulged off Okraku and his scheming corrupt tactics
Mahama is the next to be booted out
Mahama has already crushed your two balls. You have now become a highly useless & impotent vagabond. Go and brush your smelly mouth
Sad, but he’s clearly not mature enough to lead the Black Stars to the World Cup, unless we just wanted to go there, lose all games, and return home. He should have put strategies in place to at least draw against Germany, ...

He has done his best. I thank you. It is not easy to coach a national team..
Which best? Wab)dam!!! Comot 4 dere
The John paintsil’s, Fatawu Dauda and co should follow ASAP. Do not give the team to any local coach, they’re all incompetent.
Bad move. The timing is not right
I hope they have a good coach available
The timing is completely off track with barely two months left to play the World Cup. Otto should have been let go more than six months ago to give a new coach enough time for team training, chemistry and final selection of p ...

Ghanaians are to hasty in doing things and the end result is always a big fiasco.Let us forget about Football and concentrate on Agriculture. Asem beba dabi
Agric chale should be our focus. Agree with you Sah! Lol
Why sack him at this late hour? All this while, it is only GFA that have held that he is competent. What has changed? I think GFA itself is incompetent!!
So what was the GFA expecting from Otto Addo? Did anyone expect the Black Stars to beat the German side? Ghanaians aren’t a serious people at all.
Apt.
LOL THAT'S A BIG MISTAKE. WAIT TILL YOU GET TO THE WORLD CUP AND FACE THE DISASTER.
Sacking of Black Stars coach is in right direction. But do not engage Ghanaian coach to be controlled by inexperienced GFA executives. They are more hopeless than Otto Addo. They clueless to international football.
Nice one
I'm just wondering...is he likely to return to Ghana? He must be comfortable in his home country, Germany! The whole idea of hiring him was ABSOLUTELY WRONG AND INSULTING! It is obvious that he has no love for the country. He ...

Absolute nonsense

It was even long overdue. We should have sacked him when the team failed to qualify for African cup of Nation
THE ASSISTANT COACH FROM FRANCE SHOULD TAKE OVER, I DON'T TRUST SCHAFFER OR WHATEVER EITHER
IT’S OK TO LET HIM GO BY THIS TIME BEFORE THE WORLD CUP PROPER,GFA SHOULD GET IT RIGHT THIS TIME THE COUNTRY HAD BEEN DISGRACED FOR FAR TOO LONG THANKS
This was long overdue but because some of you at GFA were benefitting from his presence you couldn"t sack him.
Now that the damage is too big , you are sacking him for who to come and carry the insults ?
This late stage Herve Renard by all means . He will shape the team up . No favoritism
Corruption this ia what happens when your have Ga people and Ewes at the GFA
Even when "your people" were running the entire country, they made us TOTALLY BANKRUPT. Some of them have even gone into self-imposed exile abroad because of their wild thievery. Onyaaye gbemi brukutu.!!
Africans and stupidity? Why not wait after the tournament?
Please the coach should not always be the problem of black stars loosing matches. It's the fault of the players. Their life styles eg., drinking, womanizing and a whole lot contribute to their loosing.
Do you think Diaspora players want injuries playing for GH? Start using local talent

All what NDC administration knows is sack sack sack... Go get Pep Gadiola for the team
Okraku himself is incompetent, he should have gone with those who appointed him to lead GFA. Okraku will end up dictating to whoever is appointed as the new coach
Fifa itself is very corrupt because they don't allow governments much say with football associations. GFA needs to be dissolved but fifa will object.
Otto- Addo we are waiting for you to coach kotoko
Coach Otto Addo couldn't transform Ghana Black Stars. He is more of an assistant coach than a head coach of a team like Black Stars
April Fool
I blame the gfa for all this. If they did not have an ulterior motive,why did they reappoint him after the world cup in 2022.?
We thank God
Sick nation.
