Veteran sports journalist Michael Oti Adjei has openly called for the dismissal of Black Stars coach Otto Addo, questioning whether he is truly the right man to lead Ghana forward despite an impressive World Cup qualifying record.
Speaking on Joy Sports on September 21, 2025, Oti Adjei expressed shock that a coach could guide Ghana through eight qualifiers, winning six, drawing one, and losing just one, yet still leave doubts about his competence.
“I don’t understand how a coach goes through a World Cup qualifier, plays eight games, wins all but draws one, loses one, and the following day the conversation is, is he a good coach?” Oti Adjei stated firmly. “If after such a record we are still asking this question, then maybe Otto Addo is not the right coach for Ghana. He should go.”
His remarks add fresh fuel to the already heated debate surrounding Otto Addo’s future. Despite solid results, many critics argue that his tactical approach and game management fail to convince at the highest level.
Oti Adjei insists that Ghana must look beyond the numbers and focus on the bigger picture: “This is the Black Stars. We cannot settle for mediocrity dressed up as success. If the trust is not there, then it is time to move on.”
The call for Otto Addo’s sack from a respected voice like Oti Adjei is sure to intensify discussions among fans and the Ghana Football Association in the coming weeks.
