Ghana has dismissed head coach Otto Addo less than three months before the team’s opening match at the World Cup.
The Ghana Football Association announced on Monday that it had parted ways with Addo with immediate effect but did not provide reasons for the decision or name a successor.
The move follows a string of disappointing results, including a 2-1 defeat to Germany in Stuttgart on Monday. Ghana had also suffered a 5-1 loss to Austria last Friday, extending their losing streak to four consecutive friendly matches.
Addo was in his second stint as head coach after leaving his role in talent development at Borussia Dortmund in March 2024. He previously led Ghana on an interim basis in 2022, including at the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, where the team secured a win over South Korea but failed to progress beyond the group stage.
A former player, Addo won the Bundesliga with Dortmund and represented Ghana at the FIFA World Cup 2006.
Ghana, making its fifth World Cup appearance, has been drawn in Group L alongside Croatia, England and Panama. The team is scheduled to open its campaign against Panama on June 17 in Toronto.
