Otto Addo has done no wrong, I only blame him for accepting that coaching job for the 2nd time knowing he was not qualified. The blame shd go to GFA President Kurts Okraku & Randy Abbey, they've mismanaged all our National teams right from U17, thru U20 to Black Stars.Their obsession to selling players thru our juvenile teams have destroyed grooming of players for Black Stars.The problems we are going thru can solely not be attributed to Otto Addo.

I agree totally with the latter part of your opening statement, the first, I don't.

Otto must squarely bear the full weight for this atrocity visited upon Ghana.

One of my most poignant arguments regarding the man was the glaring lack of credibility in his acceptance of a job he had zero experience for and absolutely no pedigree in. He knew he was sub-par and totally unqualified but jumped at the opportunity like a quintessentially corrupt Ghanaian, made an apocalypse of it at the world cup and disdainfully abandoned us and went back "home" to Germany.

Then he had the nerve to return, thumbing his nose at us when he well knew he was NOT cut for the job. He was willing to be crooked for the applause and the game was up before he even begun but he REFUSED to bow out honorably because there was nothing honorable about this man to begin with. You'd think the proverbial German trait for principled integrity would kick in. It's not in his DNA.

I have zero sympathy for a man who was decidedly callous enough to break a nation's spine for personal benefit. He's no different from our former president with whom he incidentally shares a surname.

Good riddance of filthy rubbish. And now the GFA and everything related to that pit latrine must follow suit.

Never worry. Time will tell. You qualified Ghana to World Cup , yet Ghana has soon forgotten. How can a coach be sacked for non-performance in FRIENDLY MATCH . I mean friendly match . Hmmm . I wonder which criteria does GFA use to sack coaches. Ok, we live to see . But a true Ghanaian, I expect GFA to bring Jose Mourinho , Pep , or other big name coaches to take over . If they bring any low class coaches, I a true Ghanaian will probe them. Thank you .

@A true Ghanaian

Do you live on the moon??? Draw a chart of Otto Addon's performance since he be ame coach of the black stars and had it to any data analyst and let's see what the verdict will be.

He should have been sacked in his first month as coach. Then again he should NEVER have been hired in the first place because he just does not meet the lowest performance threshold of our National football Team.

And yet the pit latrine GFA hired him for their own crooked reasons and now that it suits their whim, he has become the convenient but deserved fall guy.

The Black Star and all other national soccer teams cannot become extensions of private interests with conflicting goals that relegate the national interest to the background. We must take a bold decision and sanitize that pit latrine once and for all.

The authorities did the right thing by letting him leave. Otto has nothing good to offer in terms of managing the Black Stars. It's quite clear unless you don't know football.

Please the next coach should consider Bonsu-Baah at that left wing back role , he performs soo much better for his club as a left winger. I believe he will be a good substitute for Kohn in our subsequent matches

I hope he gets his money soon. He is not the magician we need because only magic can save the team. How many first team players do we have to think that we are good? No coach can save Ghana soccer until we improve our local leagues for quality players rather than calling bench warmers and sub-division players to train for 2days and think they are ready to represent the country. Coach Ott0 Addo will be happy he got sacked.

Otto Ado accepted the job just for the pay check. He was not qualified and not even qualified to coach a 4th division team. I don't understand his team style of play, is it a counter attack football or ball possession style of football. If he wants to coach one day again, he needs to start by sitting on the bench under a well experienced coach, learn some tactics and after couple years start coaching a third division team.

My friend. You don't know what you are talking about. Otto was very financially sound before this job came along. No one works for free anyway so watch your mouth.
Thanks.

The the situation is BITTERSWEET sad and also good for the future. He was still behind how to use the players at proper positions. And I believe the hole staffs will also be gone. Mali coach can be given the chance because looking back at Afcon losing to Senegal was just a hard luck and how he held the Host Nation to 1-1 draw was fantastic . Otto cost himself this job

He did his best,it did not work out. It’s okay, let’s move on, there’s no need to talk trash about him. He’s brought on some really good players including those waiting in the wings; Pepprah, Yirenkyi, Baah, Kohn, Adu,Ibrahim Sulemana etc. hopefully the next coach can build on that. Thank you Otto for qualifying Ghana for another World Cup, and building us a good team. I hope he gets better with the other aspects of his coaching; tactics, game management, man management etc. all the best to him.

As a non Ghanaian I stayed at the same Hotel (Radisson) like the Black Stars and Team in Stuttgart. I was shocked when I saw the Minister of Sport arriving on Sunday evening. What he has to do with a friendly Match? No other Ministers in this World would waste Country’s money for a Test Game (friendly). It’s shows me that it was clear already before the Match that the Coach will be fired. What kind of Corruption is going on in Ghana? Who paid the Minister and others to suck the coach? In the middle of the night, the Hotel was shaking and almost the whole team left. Is this normal? Why there are no proper Meetings after a night of sleep!? Why in the middle of the night the Country announces the termination of the coach? Why they can’t act professional and announce something like this maybe after day later? No they can’t ! I believe many others of the Ghana Football Association excluding the Minister of Sports should be sucked also for unprofessional work! Good Luck to Ghana and the upcoming World Cup!
