Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has disclosed that Black Stars head coach Otto Addo was displeased after being described as a “lucky” coach.
Following Ghana’s commanding 5-0 victory over the Central African Republic in Matchday 9 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, Adams suggested in an interview that the 49-year-old coach has benefited from the team’s inconsistent performances.
“He’s done his bit, he’s done well, and we give him credit. Despite the criticism of some of his decisions, which I share sometimes, he’s come through as a coach who has been quite lucky,” he told Citi FM.
“Even Otto Addo himself, he wasn’t happy that I described his situation as…. as lucky,” Kofi Adams added.
Ghana concluded their qualifiers with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Comoros on Sunday, October 12, at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The result secured back-to-back World Cup qualifications under Addo, making him the first coach in Black Stars history to achieve the feat.
The team will learn its group-stage opponents for the 2026 World Cup on December 5 in Washington, D.C.
