Otto Addo has the support of former Ghanaian international Laryea Kingston to guide the side to victory before the 2026 World Cup.
Addo oversaw Ghana’s qualification for the Munial, which will be place in the USA, Canada, and Mexico next summer, after failing to lead the Black Stars to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) competition.
After ten games in the qualification series, the Black Stars finished as the group winners with 25 points.
Kingston thinks Otto Addo, 50, is capable of leading the team to victory despite calls for his dismissal prior to the competition.
However, the former Black Starlets coach advised Addo to make sure the team’s performance was consistent.
“Otto Addo has what it takes to lead every team because of the experience he has now,” Kingston told SuperSport Blitz.
“He has been at FC Nordsjaelland before going to Borussia Dortmund, a side that is just like Nordsjaelland, so I believe that in the long term, he will be a success for the national team, but there should be consistency,” he added.
The Black Stars will begin their campaign against Panama on June 17 in Toronto, face England on June 23 in Boston, and wrap up the group stage against Croatia on June 27 in Philadelphia.
Following early exits in both the 2014 and 2022 World Cups, Ghana will be aiming for a more successful run in the expanded 2026 tournament.
Meanwhile, Otto Addo is expected to name his final squad for the tournament on June 1.
