As Ghana prepares for the resumption of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, a cloud of uncertainty looms over the Black Stars. The source of concern? Head coach Otto Addo.

Incoming Sports Minister Kofi Adams has expressed deep concern over the growing skepticism surrounding Addo’s leadership. The frustration among Ghanaian fans is no secret, especially after the team’s failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. Many supporters believe that under his guidance, the Black Stars have lacked consistency and a winning mentality, leading to questions about his long-term future.

However, the doubts are not just limited to the fans. According to Adams, concerns about Addo’s tenure extend beyond the stands, with players and even members of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) voicing their reservations.

“The future of Otto Addo is a matter of concern to me,” Adams admitted. “It’s not only the fans; the feedback I’ve received extends beyond that, including from players and some current and former GFA members.”

Despite the criticism, Adams has called for patience, urging Ghanaians to rally behind the team. He believes that unwavering support from the fans is crucial for the Black Stars to regain their confidence and form.

With World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar on the horizon in March 2025, Otto Addo faces a defining moment in his coaching career. Can he silence the doubters and lead Ghana to victory, or will the pressure prove too much? The next few months will determine his fate.
