Head coach of the Black Stars, coach Otto Addo has revealed that he explained to the Ghana Football Association (GFA) that he will be juggling the Ghana job with that at Dortmund concurrently.
Addo, 47, qualified the Black Stars to the mundial following a 1-1 draw against Nigeria in the final playoffs of the World Cup in March.
However, he inked a one-year contract with the Ghana FA after overseeing Ghana’s qualification to the continental showpiece, set to kick start from November 20 to December 18, 2022
In an interviw with World Soccer Magazine, coach Addo stated that; "The association had already asked me to coach in February, but at that time their priority was on someone who could work permanently for Ghana.
"The offer was a great honour for me. In the talks, I made it clear that I could do the national team job on an interim basis and as a dual function with my Dortmund work. I think as a national coach you should also live in the country you work for in the long term.
"Of course, many things can also be organised and delegated remotely in the short term. But I see myself staying in Germany, at least for the next few years."
Ghana will open their 2022 World Cup campaign against Portugal on November 24, before going on to face South Korea and Uruguay.
Black Stars will, however, play Switzerland in an International friendly on November 17, before jetting-out to Qatar for the World Cup.
