Just over 70 days before the World Cup and hours after a friendly loss to Germany, Ghana announced it had fired coach Otto Addo.

This is contained in a statement issued on Tuesday, March 31, while appreciating Addo’s contribution to the team and wishing him the best of luck in his future endeavours.

New Telegraph reports that on Monday, the Black Stars were defeated 2-1 at Stuttgart; Deniz Undav’s last-minute goal saved the hosts from humiliation.

After Austria crushed Addo’s team 5-1 last week, it was their fourth straight loss.

“The association wishes to thank Otto Addo sincerely for his contribution to the team and wishes him the best of luck in his future endeavours,” the Ghana Football Association said.

It will “communicate the new technical direction of the Black Stars in due course”.

The 50-year-old Addo had been in charge since March 2024. Ghana are grouped with England, Croatia and Panama at the World Cup in North America this summer.
