Former Majority Leader Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu has said that Otto Addo should not continue as head coach of the Black Stars, even if Ghana qualifies for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Addo, 48, was reappointed in March 2024 on a three-year contract with an option to extend for two more years. His tenure came under scrutiny after Ghana failed to advance from the group stage at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), finishing last with just three points from six matches.
Despite this setback, Addo has revitalized Ghana’s World Cup qualifying campaign, guiding the team to 19 points from eight matches, including a 1-1 draw against Chad and a 1-0 win over Mali in Matchdays 7 and 8.
However, Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu remains unconvinced about Addo’s suitability for the World Cup. “Even if Otto Addo qualifies us, he is not a good coach to lead us to the World Cup,” he told Wontumi FM.
Ghana will conclude their qualification campaign in October with fixtures against the Central African Republic and Comoros.
