The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has announced the sacking of Black Stars coach, Otto Addo.

The sacking was announced in a statement issued by the GFA's communications team on Tuesday, March 31, 2026.

In the statement, the association extended its gratitude to the coach for his service to the country.

"The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has parted ways with the head coach of the senior men’s national team (Black Stars), Otto Addo, effective immediately.

"The Association wishes to thank Otto Addo sincerely for his contribution to the team and wishes him the best of luck in his future endeavours," parts of the statement read.

It added, "The Ghana Football Association will communicate the new technical direction of the Black Stars in due course."

The sacking comes after the Black Stars' poor run of form, capped by a 2-1 defeat to Germany just a few hours ago on Monday, March 30, 2026.

The defeat to Germany is the second successive defeat, following the 5-1 humiliation by Austria on March 27, 2026.

Otto Addo was appointed as head coach of the Black Stars by the Ghana Football Association on March 15, 2024, marking a return to a role he had previously held on an interim basis.

He was first appointed as the interim coach of the Black Stars ahead of the team's 2022 FIFA World Cup final play-off matches against Nigeria.

He left the role after Ghana's poor performance at the 2022 World Cup.
