Ghana Coach Otto Addo Resigns After 2022 World Cup Exit

Ghana coach Otto Addo has resigned from his role as Ghana coach after his side’s exit from the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

The Black Stars got knocked after losing 2-0 to Uruguay in the final group stage round, with his side only collecting two points.

A win for Ghana would’ve seen Addo’s side qualify for the knockout stages after they had beaten South Korea 3-2 and lost 2-3 to Portugal.

However, the defeat against Uruguay saw Ghana finish fourth in Group H, leading Addo to announce his resignation at the post-match press conference.

“It was clear that I would stop after the World Cup,” he said.

“Me and my family see our future in Germany and I like my role at Dortmund and I’m very, very happy there.

“We said that if we qualify for the World Cup I would resign after the World Cup, even if we would’ve been world champions.

“So this is my decision.”

Otto Addo steps down as Black Stars head coach with a win rate of 33.3%.

Otto Addo too, big man like you, you make ‘politics’ ruin your career like this? Give this current Black Stars team to any top coach in the world without interference and watch how we go ball to the whole wiase! Waste man!
