Ghana have sacked head coach Otto Addo just three months before the FIFA World Cup.

The Ghanaian Football Association (GFA) announced the decision immediately after the Black Stars, Ghana’s senior national team, lost 2-1 to Germany in a friendly played at the MHP Arena in Stuttgart on Monday.

This was Ghana’s fourth defeat in a row. They were also thrashed 5-1 by Austria last week.

“The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has parted ways with the Head Coach of the senior men’s national team (Black Stars), Otto Addo effective immediately,” announced GFA.

“The Association wishes to thank Otto Addo sincerely for his contribution to the team and wishes him the best of luck in his future endeavours. The Ghana Football Association will communicate the new technical direction of the Black Stars in due course.”

Addo was appointed on 15 March 2024 for his second stint in charge, having previously served in an interim basis.

For the World Cup, Ghana are in the same group with England, Croatia and Panama.
