Minister for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has cautioned against dismissing Black Stars head coach Otto Addo, describing such a move as a “tragic mistake” ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Speaking on Good Morning Ghana on Metro TV, the Minister strongly backed Addo to continue leading the national team, stressing that Ghana’s qualification for the 2026 World Cup is proof of his capable leadership.
"It would be a huge mistake to think that the current challenges should lead to a coaching change," Kwakye Ofosu said. "We should focus on supporting the coach and the technical team, not undermining them at this crucial time."
His remarks come amid growing debate over the future of Otto Addo and whether a change in the technical setup is needed to strengthen Ghana’s prospects ahead of the tournament.
Kwakye Ofosu maintained that the Black Stars’ qualification, achieved despite stiff competition in the qualifiers, should be celebrated rather than used as a basis for criticism.
"Otto Addo has shown resilience and tactical maturity," he added. "At this point, what the team needs is continuity and collective support from all Ghanaians."
Otto Addo guided Ghana to the 2026 World Cup after a decisive campaign, and expectations are high for a strong showing when the global tournament kicks off.
