Otto Addo needs to resign for failing to qualify Ghana for 2025 AFCON – Kojo Addae Mensah

Kojo Addae-Mensah, a key member of the five-person committee that appointed Otto Addo as head coach of the Black Stars, has called for the coach’s resignation following Ghanas failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).Speaking on GTV Sports Plus after Ghana’s 1-1 draw against Angola on Friday, November 15, Addae-Mensah expressed his disappointment with the outcome and stressed that Otto Addo should step down from his role.For not qualifying for the AFCON, I think Otto Addo should resign. The least he could have done was to qualify us for the AFCON, Kojo Addae-Mensah remarked.His statement reflects the growing frustration among fans and football stakeholders, who believe the head coach has failed to meet expectations.The 1-1 draw against Angola was a devastating blow for the Black Stars, ending any hopes of securing a place in the 2025 AFCON tournament.Despite taking an early lead through a stunning free-kick by captain Jordan Ayew in the 19th minute, the team could not hold on. Angola equalized in the second half with a powerful header by Zini, sealing Ghanas fate.With qualification no longer possible, Ghanas final Group F match against Niger on Monday, November 18, at the Accra Sports Stadium is now inconsequential. The Black Stars will only be playing for pride, as the result has no bearing on their standing in the qualifiers.The upcoming match against Niger offers a chance for reflection and regrouping, but the focus will now shift towards rebuilding the team after a disappointing end to the AFCON qualification campaign.
