Desmond Ofei, the coach who led the Black Satellites to victory at the African Games, is optimistic about the transformation of the Black Stars under the guidance of Otto Addo.
Addo, aged 43, has returned to coach the senior national team on a 34-month deal, with the possibility of extending it to 24 months.
Despite suffering a 2-1 defeat against Nigeria in his debut game, a friendly match at the Stade de Marrakesh over the weekend, Addo's reappointment has garnered positive reactions.
Expressing his delight at Addo's return, Ofei praised him as a top-notch coach with a strong track record.
He believes that under Addo's guidance, the Black Stars have a promising future.
"I am thrilled about Otto Addo’s return to the Black Stars. As a Ghanaian who has played for the national team and at the highest level, he brings invaluable experience," Ofei stated in an interview with Accra-based Asempa FM, as reported by Footballghana.com.
"He has already demonstrated his coaching prowess, and his comeback is a positive development for us. With the right support and patience, we will undoubtedly reap the rewards. With a solid technical team and a squad boasting an average age of 25 years, the future looks bright for the Black Stars."
Looking ahead, Addo aims to secure his maiden victory as Black Stars coach when they take on Uganda's Cranes on Tuesday, March 26, at the same venue.
