Ghana fires football head coach ⁠Otto Addo 72 days before World Cup

Ghana has fired head coach Otto Addo just 72 days before the World Cup, following a 2-1 friendly defeat to Germany and the team's failure to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations in January. Addo's departure leaves Ghana without a permanent manager weeks before a major tournament as the team faces significant instability in its coaching structure. The dismissal reflects Ghana's poor recent form and mounting pressure on the football association to stabilize the program ahead of World Cup qualifying matches. Ghana's failure to secure an AFCON spot underscored deeper problems within the squad that ultimately cost Addo his job. The timing creates an urgent need for Ghana to identify and install a new coach capable of preparing the team for imminent international competition.
