Ghana national football team have officially parted ways with head coach Otto Addo just 72 days before the 2026 FIFA World Cup, in a dramatic decision confirmed by Fabrizio Romano via his x handle.
Fabrizio confirmed:
OFFICIAL: Ghana part ways with head coach Otto Addo two months before the 2026 World Cup.
The Ghana Football Association acted swiftly following a 2-1 defeat to Germany national football team in Stuttgart a result that marked Ghana’s fifth consecutive loss in friendly matches.
Softfootball reported that Ahead of that clash, Addo had delivered a candid reflection, openly admitting the Austria defeat was painful and stressing the need for lessons and improvement — comments that now stand as his final message before dismissal.
The fallout also sparked reactions online, including criticism from Nigerian football content creator D Real Kombo, who described Germany’s win as “disappointing” despite the result.
This came days after a heavy 5-1 defeat in Austria, deepening concerns about the team’s form.
Despite the narrow scoreline against Germany, where Abdul Fatawu Issahaku equalised after Kai Havertz’s opener before Deniz Undav struck late, the performance did little to ease pressure.
With time running out, Ghana now face a huge task to regroup before the World Cup
