The future of Black Stars head coach Otto Addo remains uncertain, with the Ghana Football Association (GFA) confirming that no final decision has been made regarding his tenure, as reported by JoySports.
According to Henry Asante-Twum, the GFA’s Communications Officer, the Executive Council has opted to consult with the government before making any decisions on Addo’s future.
“The council deferred the meeting and said they’d have to consult the government, after which a firm decision will be made, and that’s what we’ll be waiting for,” Asante-Twum explained during an appearance on Joy FM’s Game Plan show.
Asante-Twum also touched on the contractual ramifications of terminating Coach Addo’s contract, citing the case of former Black Stars coach Milovan Rajevac, whose contract was terminated, and the subsequent financial obligations the GFA had to meet. Rajevac took the GFA to FIFA and won, leading to the GFA having to reimburse him without the assistance of the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
This latest development comes after the Black Stars’ failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), following a dismal campaign where the team failed to win any of their six qualification matches.
The Black Stars’ drop in the latest FIFA rankings has also added pressure on the GFA to reassess the team’s management. As the 2026 World Cup qualifiers approach, the Black Stars are determined to redeem themselves and secure a spot in the tournament.
However, Otto Addo’s future with the team remains up in the air, with the GFA awaiting government consultation before reaching a final decision.
