Kofi Iddie Adams, Ghana's Minister designate for Sports and Recreation has expressed concerns about active conversations regarding the future of Black Stars head coach, Otto Addo.
Speaking to Sporty FM, Mr Adams disclosed that his talks with Black Stars players, fans, and even some members of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) have shown that many are unsure about Otto Addo’s capacity and competence to deliver.
“The future of Otto Addo is a matter of concern to me. This issue of whether he should stay or leave is not just coming from the non-playing body, and that is what worries me,” he said.
“It’s not only the fans; the feedback I’ve received extends beyond that, including from players and some current and former members of the GFA,” he added.
Otto Addo has drawn strong condemnation for failing to qualify the team to the 2025 Afcon scheduled to come off in Morocco next year.
Ghana secured just three points from their six matches in Group F, which included Angola, Sudan, and Niger.
The bad performance in the qualifiers left Ghana bottom (4th) of Group F with just three points.
Ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, there has been a major overhaul in his technical team as the GFA seeks to enhance the team’s performance.
Mr Adams, who was vetted by Parliament’s Appointments Committee on Thursday, January 30, is scheduled to be sworn in as the Minister for Sports and Recreation in the coming days.
