Working with Jurgen Klopp isnât an excuse for your failure â Fiifi Tackie hits back at Otto Addo
Fiifi Tackie, the spokesperson for the Ayew family has taken a swipe at Black Stars coach, Otto Addo after claiming to have worked with Jurgen Klopp.Ghana is missing out on 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. The Black Stars hopes of participating in the tournament dashed after playing out a 1-1 draw with Angola last FridayNiger gave the Black Stars lifeline after shockingly defeating Sudan 4-0 in matchday 5 last Thursday but Ghana blew away their chances after the stalemate.After five round of games, Ghana sit bottom with just three points having found the net only twice.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 Klopp 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.”Meanwhile, the Black Stars will take on Niger on Monday evening in their final group game of the qualifiers.
