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.
Speaking in an interview with Hamburger Abdenblatt Podcast, Otto Addo confirmed Dortmund has agreed to allow him to manage the Black Stars of Ghana.
