Ghana fired coach Otto Addo on Tuesday, hours after losing a friendly to Germany and with just over 70 days till the World Cup.

The Black Stars were defeated 2-1 at Stuttgart on Monday, with the hosts relying on a last-minute Deniz Undav goal to preserve their blushes.

It was Addo’s fourth consecutive setback, following a 5-1 loss to Austria last week.

“The association wishes to thank Otto Addo sincerely for his contribution to the team and wishes him the best of luck in his future endeavours,” the Ghana Football Association said.

It will “communicate the new technical direction of the Black Stars in due course”.

The 50-year-old Addo had been in charge since March 2024.

Ghana are grouped with England, Croatia and Panama at the World Cup in North America this summer.
