Ghana have parted ways with coach Otto Addo, with 72 days remaining until the kickoff of the 2026 World Cup.
Ghana Football Association (GFA) announced this in a statement on Tuesday.
The decision came a few hours after a 2-1 defeat by Germany in Stuttgart during their preparation for the 2026 World Cup which will be held in North America next summer. Ghana also lost 5-1 in Austria on Friday.
The statement read: “The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has parted ways with the Head Coach of the senior men’s national team (Black Stars), Otto Addo effective immediately.
“The Association wishes to thank Otto Addo sincerely for his contribution to the team and wishes him the best of luck in his future endeavours.
“The Ghana Football Association will communicate the new technical direction of the Black Stars in due course.”
Addo, former Borussia Dortmund player, was appointed for a second stint in March 2024.

He failed to qualify Ghana for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) despite having Premier League players Antoine Semenyo and Mohammed Kudus in his squad.
The German-born coach won eight matches and lost nine in 22 games in charge of the West African nation.
Addo, 50, led Ghana at the 2022 World Cup, after previously working as an assistant to Milovan Rajevac.
They recorded a 3–2 win over South Korea in Qatar but exited at the group stage after defeats by Portugal and Uruguay.
Ghana, who reached the World Cup for the fifth time, are in Group L along with Croatia, England, and Panama.
