Ghana Olympic Committee (GOC) boss Ben Nunoo Mensah has stated he has doubts over the “competence” of coach Otto Addo in qualifying Ghana for the 2026 World Cup.
Otto Addo is under immense pressure after the Black Stars failed to book a place at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations to be hosted in Morocco.
The Black Stars completed the qualifying series bottom of Group F with only three points, winless in six matches, and missed out on the competition for the first time since 2004.
“I have not been convinced about Otto Addo’s coaching prowess, especially against Niger,” the GOC boss said on Asempa FM.
“In crucial games, the matches are being won by the coaches and judging by the games we have played in the AFCON and what I expected from him, I don’t think he is competently good enough to qualify Ghana for the 2026 World Cup.”
Otto Addo has since submitted his technical report to the Ghana Football Association Executive Council after the AFCON qualification disappointment.
The GFA has deliberated on Addo’s future and now seeks the government’s input for a final decision.
Up next, the Black Stars face Chad and Madagascar in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in March 2025, earnestly aiming for a turnaround to nullify the words of the GOC boss.
