Legal practitioner Moses Foh-Amoaning has launched a scathing critique of Black Stars head coach Otto Addo, insisting he lacks the capacity to lead the national team.

Addo, 48, was reappointed in March 2024 but has faced intense scrutiny after Ghana’s failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

In response, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) bolstered the technical setup with the appointment of experienced German coach and former AFCON winner Winfried Schäfer as a technical advisor.

Speaking on Kumasi-based Oyerepa FM in the aftermath of Ghana’s unconvincing World Cup qualifying performances against Chad and Mali during the September international window, Foh-Amoaning did not mince words.

“Otto Addo is not fit for the Black Stars job,” he declared. “He is a scout coach, learning on the job like doing National Service. The Ghana Football Association knows this, and that is the reason why they have brought in Winfried Schäfer to improve the technical team’s quality.”

Despite the criticism, Ghana remain top of Group I with 19 points and will look to secure qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup when they face the Central African Republic and Comoros in October’s decisive qualifiers.
