Ayew family spox Fiifi Tackie questions Otto Addoâs leadership after AFCON 2025 qualification failure
The Spokesperson of the Ayew family, Fiifi Tackie has questioned Otto Addos leadership qualities after failing to qualify the Black Stars to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations tournament.Ghana is missing out on the CAFs biggest event on the continent for the first time in 20-years after failing to finish among the top two countries in group F.Niger gave the Black Stars lifeline after shockingly defeating Sudan 4-0 in matchday 5 last Thursday.The Black Stars could have still been in the race for qualification if they had defeated Angola last Friday.But the 1-1 draw against Angola means, Ghana are finally out of the race and are missing the AFCON tournament for the first time in 20-years.In response to his detractors, Otto Addo pointed out working with top-notch coaches like Jurgen Klopp, Mathias Sammer and Edin Terzic.But Fiifi Tackie says Addos claim of working with the aforementioned coaches does not excuse his failure to qualify Ghana for the AFCON tournament.”Otto Addo’s claims of working with Klopp don’t excuse his failure to qualify us for the 24-team tournament. His inability to achieve this goal raises questions about his leadership. Ghana deserves better.Blaming others or boasting about past associations won’t improve our football. We need accountability and results. Unfortunately, Addo’s comments come across as deflecting responsibility.Ghana should strive for higher standards in football management. We need coaches who deliver, not just talk.”
