GFA Boss in Europe to meet Dortmund over Otto Addo appointment

Ghana FA Boss Kurt Okraku is in Europe to hold talks with Borussia Dortmund, Aston Villa and Nordsjaelland over the possible appointment of Otto Addo, George Boateng and Didi Dramani on a contract, at least until the 2022 World Cup.

This was disclosed by GFA Communications Director Henry Asante Twum, who explained that the recruitment process begins with a negotiation with the trio over their willingness to be re-engaged on contracts to serve in the Black Stars.

The GFA secured a short-term arrangement with the three European clubs to have Otto, Boateng and Didi released to Coach the Black Stars for the Qatar 2022 qualifying play-off against Nigeria.

After supervising the Black Stars qualification to the mundial at the expense of the Super Eagles, most Ghanaian fans and the President Nana Akufo-Addo have called on the GFA to maintain the technical team, including Technical Advisor Chris Hughton for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers and the 2022 World Cup.

“The first move is to discuss with Otto Addo, George Boateng and Didi Dramani before discussing with their employers, and we are doing that. The GFA President (Kurt Okraku) is still in Europe and I’m sure he will come back with good news,” Asante Twum told GTV Sports.

However, reports say Otto Addo has reached an agreement with the GFA to sign a new deal as Black Stars Coach until the end of 2022.
