After his team lost 2-0 to Uruguay on Friday night, Black Stars head coach Otto Addo resigned as Ghana’s coach.
Borussia Dortmund’s Scout and Talent coach made it obvious that he would leave his position as the Stars’ head coach following the World Cup.
After the Black Stars’ disastrous performance at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations competition in Cameroon, he was appointed coach in January 2022 by Milovan Rajevac.
He led Ghana to victory over Nigeria’s Super Eagles in the 2022 World Cup playoffs, securing the country’s fourth trip to the FIFA World Cup.
In addition to his victories over South Korea, Madagascar, and Switzerland in friendly matches, he also drew four games and lost the other games.
The Black Stars were stopped from exacting any type of retaliation for their World Cup quarterfinal defeat in 2010 thanks to Uruguay’s 2-0 triumph over Ghana in the group’s decider, but this thrilling success for La Celeste at the 2022 edition came at a steep cost.
South Korea advanced to the round of 16, eliminating both Uruguay and Ghana despite Uruguay’s victory, thanks to their 2-1 victory over Portugal in the comparable group stage match.
In their 2010 knockout game, Luis Suarez’s handball at the conclusion of extra time had dominated the lead-up to the game. Twelve years ago, Asamoah Gyan’s error cost Ghana the match, but captain Andre Ayew, the lone survivor from the 2010 team, was powerless to exact revenge.
