The Ghana Football Association has ended Otto Addo’s time in charge of the Black Stars, cutting short his second stint as head coach.
News of the decision was released on Tuesday, March 31, 2026, through an official statement from the FA’s communications team, confirming that he has been relieved of his duties with immediate effect.
The statement recognised his efforts before formally announcing the separation.
“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,” parts of the statement read.
“The Ghana Football Association will communicate the new technical direction of the Black Stars in due course,” the statement ended.
The decision follows a run of poor results that intensified pressure on the technical bench. Ghana’s most recent outing ended in a 2-1 defeat to Germany on Monday, March 30, 2026, coming just days after a 5-1 loss to Austria on March 27.
Addo had returned to the role on March 15, 2024, when the FA handed him the job after his earlier spell as interim coach. He first took charge ahead of Ghana’s 2022 FIFA World Cup final play-off ties against Nigeria.
He led the team to qualification for the tournament but stepped aside after a difficult campaign. His reappointment two years later has now come to an end after a brief and challenging second run in charge.
