Interim Black Stars head coach, Otto Addo says he has the permission of the German side, Borussia Dortmund to work as Ghana’s senior national team gaffer.

The agreement will see Otto Addo retain his position at Dortmund while overseeing the affairs of the Black Stars ahead of the 2023 AFCON qualifiers.

Addo, together with his backroom staff, led Ghana to the Qatar 2022 World Cup, beating Nigeria on away goals to secure a spot.

After securing a ticket to the Qatar World Cup, President Akufo-Addo urged the Ghana Football Association to find the best solution to keep the backroom staff ahead of the football Mundial.

The 46-year-old tactician masterminded Ghana’s qualification to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar later this year.

Otto Addo said in a podcast with Hamburger Abendblatt that he has received permission from Borussia Dortmund to coach the Black Stars until 2023.

“I got permission from Dortmund. Under certain conditions, it works out that I can do the international game phases in June, September and also the World Cup,” he stated

The Ghana Football Association is yet to clarify the future of Otto Addo and his three assistants, after their contracts run out on March 31

Addo currently serves as the scout and assistant manager at Borussia Dortmund was appointed on an interim basis alongside Aston Villa U23 coach George Boateng, ex-Asante Kotoko coach Mas-ud Didi Dramani and Chris Hughton in a four-man technical team for the World Cup play-off hurdle.

This comes on the back of a clarion call by the Ghanaian populace including the president of Ghana His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo for Otto to remain as head coach of the Black Stars after his brief stint as head coach of the four-time African champions.
