More Trouble In Ghana As Fa Rejects Government Anointed Coach, Opts For Otto Addo

Speculations are rife in Ghana that the Ghana Football Association is at loggerheads with the government over who becomes the next coach of Ghana’s Senior National team

Black Stars are without a coach following the dismissal of Serbian coach Milovan Rajevac who managed the Ghana side to their worst finish at the Africa Cup of Nations

But according o numerous sources in Ghana, following Serbian exit, some bigwigs in the political space have made recommendations to the Sports Ministry to convince the GFA to appoint English based coach of Ghanaian descent Chris Hughton.

Hughton who last managed Nottingham Forest in the English Championship is the suitable coach the New Patriotic Party government is eyeing to be appointed as coach

Meanwhile, the Ghana FA has also set sights on another coach who they are convinced is well prepared to manage the the Blck Stars.

 According to reports, officials at the GFA want to offer the top job to Dortumund’s assistant coach, Otto Addo to become the next Black Stars’ coach.

Addo who is a skill coach at Dortmund was appointed as one of the deputies to former Ghana coach, Milovan Rajevac during his recent second stint.

 The former Ghana international also worked as a scout for Kwesi Appiah in 2019 for the AFCON.

However, due to his work schedule at the German club, Addo was unable to be with the

Black Stars for the 2021 AFCON but often travelled with the team during international breaks

The Ghana FA is therefore confident that when handed the Black Stars job permanently, Addo will be able to manage the team to their expectations.

Meanwhile, according to reports, some officials of the GFA have arrived in Germany to convince Otto Addo to accept the Black Stars job.

It appears the government who through the Sports Ministry is responsible for paying the Black stars coach is not enthused by the position of the GFA who have in previous times fired coaches for failing to achieve their targets.
