The Ghana national football team has sacked manager Otto Addo just 72 days before the start of the World Cup 2026. This decision comes after a string of poor results, including four consecutive defeats, with the latest being a 5-1 loss to Austria and a 2-1 loss to Germany. The Ghana Football Association released a statement saying they had parted ways with Addo, effective immediately. Addo, who won 15 caps for Ghana during his playing career, took over as head coach of the Black Stars for a second spell in March 2024. He had previously coached the team on an interim basis in 2022, including at the World Cup in Qatar. The Black Stars will face England, Panama, and Croatia in the group stage of the World Cup, which kicks off on June 11. Ghana will take on Panama in Toronto on June 17, followed by a match against England in Massachusetts on June 23. The team will then face Croatia in Philadelphia on June 27. The Ghana Football Association will communicate the new technical direction of the Black Stars in due course. Addo's departure has raised concerns about the team's preparedness for the World Cup. The Black Stars failed to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations under Addo's leadership, and the team's recent performances have been disappointing. The Ghana Football Association will need to act quickly to appoint a new manager and prepare the team for the World Cup. The World Cup, which is being held in Canada, Mexico, and the USA, runs from June 11 to July 19. Ghana will be looking to improve on their performance in the 2022 World Cup, where they were eliminated in the group stage. The team's fans will be hoping for a stronger showing this summer, but the loss of Addo has added uncertainty to their chances. And with just over two months to go before the tournament, the Black Stars have a lot of work to do to get ready. But the team has a talented squad, and with the right leadership, they could still make a deep run in the World Cup. So the focus now shifts to finding a new manager and preparing the team for the challenges ahead.
