Former Chairman of the Ghana Football Association Club Licensing Board, Dr. Kwame Baah-Nuakoh, has appealed to Ghanaians to give Black Stars head coach Otto Addo the necessary time and backing to execute his duties before passing judgment.

Otto Addo, previously a talent trainer for Borussia Dortmund, was re-appointed as Ghana’s head coach in March following Chris Hughton’s dismissal after a disappointing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations campaign. Addo had previously guided Ghana to qualify for the 2022 World Cup by defeating Nigeria in a playoff.

“You can’t assess someone’s capabilities without witnessing what they can do. Allow him the opportunity to perform his role; if he fails to deliver, then you can consider removing him,” Baah-Nuakoh emphasized in an interview with Asempa FM.

“If you dictate how he should execute his duties and the results don’t meet expectations, who bears the responsibility? All I hope for is his success.”

After a defeat and a draw against Nigeria and Uganda respectively, the former Ghana international is commencing his second tenure as head coach.

Otto Addo is expected to arrive in Ghana this week for his official introduction, where he will interact with the media and announce his squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Mali on June 6th and the Central African Republic on June 10th, 2024.
