Otto Addo, the head coach
of the Black Stars, claims that despite popular outrage over the team's patchy
results, he is not deterred by the prospect of losing his position. The
49-year-old strategist, who just led Ghana to qualify for the FIFA World Cup in
2026, says he is more concerned with making Ghanaians happy than he is with his
career.
At the Accra Sports
Stadium, Ghana defeated Comoros 1-0 after a fierce battle, with Mohammed Kudus
scoring the game-winning goal to advance the Black Stars to their sixth world
championship. Although the team's performance and Addo's tactical consistency
have been questioned by certain supporters and observers, the qualification is
still a huge milestone.
Before the game, Otto
Addo stated in an interview with the Ghana Football Association (GFA) that he
is not preoccupied with the uncertainties surrounding his employment.
“What happens after is
not in my hands. I hope that if we win, a lot of Ghanaians can go to America.
We have to win this game. If Ghanaians are happy, then we are happy,” he stated
confidently.
In addition to leading
the Black Stars to the 2022 tournament in Qatar, Addo's accomplishment makes
him the first coach to lead the team to two World Cups in a row. His composed
and expert response demonstrates his emphasis on patriotism over selfish goals.
As the festivities go on,
Ghana's focus shifts to the December 5, 2025, World Cup group stage draw, where
the Black Stars will learn who they will play against in the tournament, which
will be held in the US, Canada, and Mexico.
