“I believe Otto Addo can qualify us to the World Cup” – Ex-Ghanaian player

Despite raising concerns over the commitment within the Black, Sam Johnson believes Coach Otto Addo can lead the Black Stars to the next World Cup.

Otto Addo has suffered backlash from Ghanaian’s due to his poor performance as head coach of the senior national soccer team.

For the first time in 20 years, the Black Stars will miss CAF’s biggest competition after falling short in Group F. The last time Ghana failed to qualify for the CAF’s biggest event was back in 2004.

Ghana struggled in the qualifiers, losing three and drawing three games across the period. Playing six games without a win, the West African powerhouse finished bottom on the standings in Group F, derailing the team’s AFCON qualification chances.

“Yes, I have confidence in Otto Addo. He can qualify us to the World Cup. But football is not only about the coach. I want something for myself, that’s why I’m playing football. If the coach is not good, what am I doing for myself on the field. Do something. We play for coaches who don’t know anything because maybe the coach is not good but he is a human,” said Foryoo.
