2022 World Cup: Otto Addo is not the right man to lead Black Stars – Osei Palmer
Former Executive Committee member of the Ghana Football Association [GFA], Wilfred Osei Kwaku, says Otto Addo is not fit to lead Ghana at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Addo, who led the side to qualify for the Mundial, has come under criticism after unveiling his final 26-man squad for the tournament.
The likes of Joseph Paintsil, Jeffery Schlupp, and Majeed Ashimeru have all been left out of the squad despite their impressive performance at the respective clubs.
“For me, Otto Addo is not the right person to lead the Black Stars,” he said on Asempa FM on the Ultimate Sports Show.
“When government was pushing for the appointment of Chris Hughton, the FA rejected it because they wanted someone they can manipulate.
“Otto Addo is a good scout and not a coach. We saw the handy work of Chris Hughton during the Nigeria game but for me, Otto Addo is not the best person to lead the team,” he added.
