"It is a great privilege to be able to take on the role of head coach of my national team. I’ve already gained a lot of experience in this role as interim coach, and I’m looking forward to the task that lies ahead of me from the summer," he stated.
Addo is set to join the Ghanaian team during the international break, briefly returning to Dortmund to finalize transitional arrangements before assuming full-time duties in Ghana in May 2024.
An official unveiling of Otto Addo is expected before Ghana’s upcoming international friendly matches against Nigeria and Uganda in March.
