Borussia Dortmund youth development coach Otto Addo is set to become the second Black Stars player to coach Ghana at the FIFA World Cup.
The former Black Stars player aided by Mas Ud Didi Dramani, Chris Hughton and George Boateng did a marvelous job by qualifying Ghana for the World Cup on the back of a poor performance at AFCON 2021.
With Otto Addo confirming his release by Dortmund to Ghana until 2023, he is expected to lead the Black Stars at the World Cup.
"I got permission from Dortmund. Under certain conditions, it works out that I can do the international game phases in June, September and also the World Cup," Addo said in a podcast of Hamburger Abendblatt.
He will become the second Black Stars player to coach Ghana at the biggest soccer mundial after James Kwesi Appiah who led the four-time African Champions at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
The 46-year-old featured for the Black Stars between 1999 and 2006, making 15 appearances and bagging 2 goals.
Ghana has been paired against Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea in Group H.
The West African powerhouse will open their account at the World Cup against Portugal.
