Borussia Dortmund trainer scout Otto Addo has agreed to extend his contract with the German Bundesliga side.
Addo, who is also the head coach of Ghana’s Black Stars, will sign a new three-year contract with Dortmund that will keep him at the club until 2025.
His current contract was set to expire at the end of the month, but an agreement has been reached, and he will continue to work for the club as well as the Ghana Football Association.
The 47-year-old former midfielder, who played for Dortmund from 1999 to 2005, has been a special trainer at the club for three years.
Addo has previously successfully coached top talents such as Giovanni Reyna, Jude Bellingham, and Youssoufa Moukoko.
Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho and Manchester City’s recent signing Erling Haaland were also under Addo’s tutelage.
Addo, who was born in Hamburg, started as Dortmund’s talent trainer on July 1, 2019.
In 2020 after Dortmund fired coach Lucien Favre, Addo took over as interim assistant coach and won the German Cup with support from Edin Terzic and Sebastian Geppert.
After qualifying for the 2022 World Cup, Addo was appointed as permanent Black Stars coach, and he will be in charge of the team in Qatar
