Otto Addo's Black Stars was better than Chris Hughton's - Ghanaians debate on social media

Some Ghanaians on social media, especially X have engaged in a heated argument about whether former Black Stars coach Otto Addo's team was better than his current team under his successor Chris Hughton.

The argument emanated from calls for the sacking of Hughton after Ghana lost 1-0 to Comoros in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

Some argue that Black Stars played their best football under the German trainer and that Chris Hughton has failed to build on it. Others also hold that sacking the manager was a mistake reiterating that he is the best tactician Ghana has had in recent times.

However, those who strongly disagree claim that Otto Addo did not build any project and that the Borussia Dortmund trainer is only better because Chris Hughton is not performing.

The Black Stars tasted their first competitive defeat under Hughton after 6 games.

While Chris Hughton's competitive defeat came against Comoros, Otto Addo's game against Portugal in the 2022 FIFA World Cup when Ghana lost 3-2.

The defeat means Ghana has slipped to third, tied with Madagascar on three points after two games while Comoros go top of the group with a 100 percent record, followed by Mali on four points.

Central African Republic are fifth in the group with a point and Chad at the bottom with zero points.

Until we get a manager that is bold enough to bench surplus players like Jordan and Dede Ayew, we will never achieve anything proper.

Chris Hughton is worse than Otto Addo, tbh.

The most promising the Black stars have looked in recent years was under Otto Addo. If he had stayed on for a while we’d have reaped some rewards long term

Otto Addo ball was better than this. I gave Chris Hughton the benefit of the doubt but I doubt he will ever deliver for the black Stars ????.

There was no fine team. If anything, most of the players Otto Addo used at the World Cup are injured: Partey, Mo Salisu, Amartey, etc…
