Asamoah Gyan Urges for Patience in Allowing Otto Addo to Revamp the Black Stars

Former Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan has called on Ghanaians to be patient with Otto Addo following his return to take over the head coach role. Addo was confirmed as the gaffer of the team before the March international break and took charge of the games against Nigeria and Uganda. The Black Stars lost 2-1 to Nigeria before a 2-2 stalemate against the Cranes.

Addo has returned at a difficult period for the national team with the team’s last win coming in September 2023 under Chris Hughton. No wins in his first two games mean Ghana has now gone seven games without victory across all competitions.

However, Gyan, who played with Otto Addo at the 2006 World Cup, is hopeful his former teammate can do a decent job when given time to build the team. Otto Addo was in charge of the Black Stars during the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, winning one of their three games with defeats also to Portugal and Uruguay denying them progress from the group stage.
