Former Ghana midfielder Otto Addo has been named as the new Black Stars coach, AshesGyamera.com can confirm.
The former Borussia Dortmund assistant coach will replace Serbian coach Milovan Rajevac who was fired last week after a poor performance at 2021 Africa Cup of Nations held in Cameroon.
The Black Stars failed to win any of their three games at the competition and surprisingly lost to Comoros and Morocco as well as shared the spoils with Gabon.

“Other members of the new Technical team include George Boateng and Mas-Ud Didi Dramani. The 63- year old will provide Technical advice to the three man team for next month’s FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 play-off match against Nigeria.
“The Executive Council of the Ghana Football Association took the decision at a meeting held in Accra on Wednesday, February 9, 2022.
“Otto Addo, a former Ghana player is currently the Assistant Coach of German Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund – he boasts of about 13 years of Coaching experience that dates back to 2009 when he first took up the job of an Assistant Coach at Hamburger SV.
“The 46-year old previously worked as a scout for the Black Stars in 2013 prior to the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil and the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea.
“The four man team has been put together to take charge of the two matches against rivals Nigeria. The Black Stars will take on the Super Eagles at the Cape Coast stadium on March 24 before travelling to Nigeria for the 2nd leg at the Abuja Sports stadium on Sunday, March 27, 2022,” the statement added.
