Black Stars head coach, Otto Addo says that its an honour to coach the Black Stars but his priority was always his job at Borussia Dortmund.

After Ghana's dismal showing at the 2021 African Cup of Nations tournament in Cameroon, Serbian trainer Milovan Rajevac was shown the exit with Otto Addo being made the coach whiles George Boateng and Masaud Didi Dramani were made assistant coaches.

Whiles Irishman with Ghanaian father Chris Hughton was made a technical advisor to the Otto Addo lead techincal team.

The new look technical team masterminded a qualification over fierce rivals Nigeria in a two legged play off game.

Their contract ended after securing qualification to the World Cup against Nigeria but the GFA is keen to continue with the same team and are in talks to quickly wrap up negotiations with the German club as qualifies for the 2023 AFCON will begin in  June.


Speaking in an interview with transfermkt, the former Ghanaian International revealed that he made it clear when he was being appointed as an interim coach that his priority is Dortmund.

"The association had already asked me to coach in February, but at that time their priority was initially on a person who should work permanently for Ghana. The offer was a great honor for me. In the talks, I also made it clear from the start that my priority is at BVB, but I could imagine the job as an interim and in a dual role."

He is expected to continue in his role as Ghana coach next month when the AFCON qualifies begins after Dortmund gave him permission to take on the Ghana job alongside his club job.
