Otto Addo is under immense pressure to turn things around as Ghana face Chad and Madagascar in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
His future as Black Stars head coach was in doubt after a disappointing AFCON campaign, but he has been given a chance to redeem himself by securing qualification.
The Black Stars currently sit third in Group I, making these two matches crucial to their World Cup hopes. Addo understands the stakes and has taken full responsibility for past failures. “Surely, I’m the head coach, but we are all in this together. When we win, we all win, and when we lose, we all lose. I really want to say sorry for what happened,” he said.
Ghana must win against Chad at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday before travelling to face Madagascar in Morocco. With strong backing from key figures, including the President and the Sports Minister, Addo knows that anything less than six points could spell the end of his tenure.
