Black Stars coach, Otto Addo has narrated circumstances that led to him accepting to continue his role as the Black Stars coach.

Ghana hurriedly put up a makeshift technical team headed by Otto Addo who was an assistant coach to Milovan Rajevac.

The likes of George Boateng, Masaud Didi Dramani were all drafted in as assistant coaches whiles Chris Hughton was named as technical advisor.

Ghana secured qualification to the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar after overcoming Nigeria via  the away goal rule in a two legged play off.

After securing  qualification Ghana wanted  to appoint Otto Addo who is an assistant coach at German side Borussia Dortmund as a substantive coach but the German-born Ghanaian wanted  to combine the Dortmund job

He revealed that his priority was to always maintained the Dortmund job regardless of the Black Stars  role.

"Although we couldn't get past 0-0 against Nigeria in the first game, the team impressed with the way we acted, so that the president said to me afterwards: "No matter how the second leg ends - we want that you carry on. If we qualify, then at least until the World Cup.” The 1-1 draw in the second leg meant we qualified and the association said that from their point of view I could continue in the double function. We were then able to agree on this with BVB in subsequent discussions. It was always clear to me: If I take on the challenge, I don't want to give up my job in Dortmund for it. The only question really was: will this be accepted by both sides?"he told transfermkt in an interview.

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.
