"The decision by the Ministry is that the GFA should maintain the Technical team that qualified Ghana for the World Cup and the GFA is working very closely with the Technical team to come out with the arrangement," Ussif said as quoted by Footballghana.com.

"Very soon, they (GFA) will announce officially when the head coach Otto Addo will be maintained to take us through the World Cup participation and also the AFCON next year in Ivory Coast.

"Inshallah, when we qualify."

The 46-year-old became first Ghanaian to have represented Ghana at the World Cup and also qualified the team to the Mundial as a coach.

Ghana have been placed in Group H together with Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea for the World Cup which is scheduled for November 21 to December 18 in Qatar.
