After nearly eight years as Borussia Dortmund’s player development coach, Otto Addo bids adieu to the German club to assume his new role with the Black Stars, Ghana’s national team.
During his tenure, Addo oversaw the growth of numerous players, including Erling Haaland of Manchester City and Jude Bellingham, now with Real Madrid.
Having previously juggled both Dortmund and Black Stars responsibilities, Addo, a former Ghanaian international, led Ghana to the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Following Chris Hughton’s dismissal, the 48-year-old took on the head coach position for Ghana, a role he fulfilled in the team’s recent friendlies against Nigeria and Uganda, resulting in a loss to the Super Eagles and a draw with the Cranes.
Addo is set to arrive in Ghana this week for his official introduction, where he will meet the press and announce his squad for the upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Mali and the Central African Republic in June.
