World Cup 2022: Otto Addo says there were lots of negatives surrounding his appointment as Ghana coach

Published on: 04 December 2022

Otto Addo has disclosed that there were lots of negatives surrounding his appointment as Ghana coach.

The 47-year-old announced on Friday that he would be leaving his role as Ghana coach following the team’s exit from the 2022 World Cup.

He replaced Milovan Rajevac in February, initially as interim boss, and was given a deal until the end of December.

"I would never understand the mentality of those who think against a human to fail, and there are some humans doing this, I would never understand it," coach Otto Addo said at a press conference after Ghana’s elimination from the World Cup.

"I don’t fear any of your critics, I’m so long in the game and I’m used to this. For me, it is not a problem, I don’t fear anything, just God."

'It’s easy when we lose, the first question is why did you do this and that, but when we win no questions come against me."

Coach Otto Addo won four games during his time with the Black Stars, beating Madagascar and South Korea in competitive games with the other victories coming against Nicaragua and Switzerland in friendlies.

Ghana crashed out of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar after finishing bottom of Group H with three points.

Black Stars lost two games and won one, amassing three points.
