Ghana have dismissed head coach Otto Addo with just 72 days remaining before the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The decision follows a string of disappointing results, including a 2-1 defeat to Germany on Monday, March 30, and a heavy 5-1 loss to Austria last Friday, extending the Black Stars’ losing streak to four matches.
The Ghana Football Association confirmed that it had parted ways with Addo with immediate effect and will announce a new technical direction in due course.
Despite boasting key talents such as Antoine Semenyo and Mohammed Kudus, Ghana also failed to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations under Addo’s leadership. Addo, who began his second stint as manager in March 2024, previously earned 15 caps for Ghana during his playing career.
The World Cup, scheduled to run from 11 June to 19 July across Canada, Mexico and the United States, will see Ghana open their campaign against Panama on 18 June, before facing England on 23 June and Croatia on 27 June.
