General Secretary of the Ghana Football Association(GFA), Prosper Harrison Addo says that the Association is frantically working on efforts to appoint Otto Addo as the head coach on a substantive basis.

The Ghanaian trainer who is an assistant coach at the German club is expected to lead Ghana to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

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 technical 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 have quickly wrapped up negotiations with the  German club.

"Engagements are going on and once conclusions are reached, we will announce it to the generality of Ghanaians," Addo told Joy Sports.

"We know this is one of the key things we need to conclude and to move on to other things and so work is ongoing.

"There is no use in saying too much when we can just wait and get the full blessing or otherwise and then we can inform Ghanaians appropriately.

"Once concluded, immediately, we will announce to Ghanaians and then move on."

Ghana has been drawn in group H alongside Portugal, Korea Republic and Uruguay in the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
