Ghana captain Andre Ayew has heaped praise on Black Stars coach Otto Addo ahead of the 2022 World Cup which starts on Sunday.
The Germany-based gaffer guided the Black Stars to secure qualification to the mundial at the expense of Nigeria in March.
The former Ghana midfielder was then handed the coaching job on a permanent basis following his exploits in the World Cup play-off.
Speaking to FIFA plus, the Al Sadd star eulogized the Black Stars coach for his outstanding performance since taking over the national team job.
“We are delighted. He’s a former national team player, now the manager and it was he who got us through the last two games against Nigeria to the World Cup. He’s doing a great job and we’re all behind him and plugging away. He’s shown that Africans can make it to the next level,”
On Thursday, he led the Black Stars to defeat Switzerland in a pre-World Cup friendly.
The West African powerhouse defeated Switzerland 2-0 in a pre-World Cup friendly at the ZSC Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
Goals from Mohammed Salisu and Antoine Semenyo gave Ghana the deserving win over their European opponents as they head to the 2022 World Cup in high spirits.
Southampton defender, Mohammed Salisu scored the first goal of the match with a header from a corner kick effected by Daniel Kofi Kyereh.
The goal which was the first goal of the defender inspired Ghana to another goal when striker Antoine Semenyo volleyed home from close range.
Ghana will open their campaign against Portugal on November 24 at Stadium 974 in Doha.
Four days later, the Black Stars return to action with a clash with South Korea at the Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan.
Ghana will wrap up their group stage adventure with their much-anticipated encounter with Uruguay at Al Janoub Stadium in Al Wakrah.
The Black Stars having missed out in the last edition hosted in Russia in 2018 will be hoping to improve their performance in Qatar after exiting the group phase during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Only three sides from the continent have ever progressed to the quarter-finals; Cameroon in 1990, Senegal in 2002, and Ghana in 2010.
Ghana will be hoping to progress from the group stage at this year's tournament.
