Ghana coach Otto Addo has quashed concerns about player selection interference in the Black Stars team, stating that he makes all the decisions with his technical staff, and he has the final word.
In an interview with Bola Ray on Starr Chat, Addo revealed that he is not influenced by political or football administrators when it comes to selecting players for the national team.
"I make my own decisions, whatever I do here in the national team, sometimes we discuss things with our technical staff, but on the decision we make for players and on the field at the end, I have the last words," Addo said. "If it wouldn't be like that, I'll never come here."
Addo also praised the Ghana Football Association (GFA) for not interfering in his decision-making process for the Black Stars team.
"I'll thank the GFA, they've never interfered in my selection. They left me alone in my decision, and I think that's the best way it can work," he said. "If there are too many interferences in this and that, it's not what only happens in Ghana, it's normal sometimes like in Europe."
Addo's first stint as Ghana coach saw him qualify the team for the World Cup in Qatar, and he has recently signed a 34-month contract with an option for a further 24 months.
