Sports Minister Mustapha Ussif has clarified that he had no involvement in the appointment of Otto Addo as the head coach of the Ghana Black Stars.
Addo, who previously led Ghana at the 2022 World Cup, replaced Chris Hughton after the team's early exit from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Speaking to the Parliamentary Select Committee, Ussif explained that the decision to hire Addo was made entirely by the Ghana Football Association (GFA). "I had no role in Otto Addo's selection as Black Stars coach," Ussif stated. "When it comes to national team appointments, it is the role of the GFA.
They have their technical directorate for that.
