Otto Addo confident of combining Ghana and Borussia Dortmund coaching jobs

Published on: 18 May 2022

Otto Addo is confident of combining his dual role with German giants Borussia Dortmund and Ghana.

The 46-year-old is expected to take full charge of the Black Stars for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers as well as the World Cup in Qatar later in the year.

He is expected to combine his talent hunt role at Dortmund and the Black Stars after reaching an agreement with both the German outfit and the Ghana Football Association.

And Addo says he can combine the the two jobs because it's for a reasonable period of time.

"If I were employed as the head coach of a Bundesliga club, it would be difficult for me personally to imagine a position as a national coach at the same time," he told Transfermarkt

"That's certainly another number - although people have already mastered it successfully. Of course I'm busy in my position as talent manager at BVB, but I know that I can do it - also because it's for a reasonable period of time."

Addo took over as Ghana coach after Milovan Rajevac failed to advance to the last 16 of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon, finishing bottom of their group.

The Otto Addo led-technical team ended their contract with the Ghana Football Association after the 2022 World Cup playoffs.

The gaffer,  who has now gotten the permission to lead the Black Stars from his club Dortmund, will continue his role with George Boateng of Aston Villa U-23, Didi Dramani of Right to Dream and Chris Hughton as technical advisor.

Otto Addo will be on the touch line when Ghan host Madagascar in the opening game of the 2023 AFCON qualifiers at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium on June 1.

Ghana face Madagascar, Angola and Central Africa Republic in Group E of the qualifiers.

In the 2022 World Cup, the Black Stars will face Portugal, Uruguay and Korea Republic.

The Black Stars technical team will assess the squad during the qualifiers ahead of 2022 World Cup which kicks off in November.
