According to Neil Armstrong-Mortagbe, Head of Public Relations and Strategy at the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Otto Addo has the organization’s support despite his recent subpar play.
The Black Stars’ dismal showing in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifications has put the 45-year-old trainer under a lot of pressure and criticism.
After four games without a victory, Ghana is currently in third place in Group F with just two points.
Although some football supporters have demanded that the former Ghanaian international be fired, Armstrong-Mortagbe asserts that the GFA fully supports Otto Addo.
He did, however, issue a warning, saying that the Executive Council anticipates the playing body will improve in future games.
In an interview with Metro TV, he stated, “The FA gave Otto Addo a long-term contract, and based on his early performances against Mali and the Central African Republic, we believe there is potential for growth for the nearly three years he was engaged for.”
“With the support of the FA and the Executive Council, he continues to be in control even though our AFCON qualifying series hasn’t gone as planned.
“We expect to see improvements in our upcoming World Cup qualifiers, indicating that what happened previously was an anomaly, not a trend,” he stated.
Ghana will resume their qualifiers next week and will aim to qualify for the 2025 tournament in Morocco against all odds.
They will travel to Luanda to face Angola on November 15 at the Estádio 11 de Novembro, followed by a home match against Niger Republic three days later at the Accra Sports Stadium.
