Ghana skipper Andre Ayew has spoken about the coaching career of Black Stars head coach Otto Addo.
The promising trainer shepherded the Black Stars to secure a ticket to the 2022 FIFA World Cup finals after edging Nigeria in qualification play-offs.
Addo, who was capped 15 times by Ghana according to Wikipedia, has been charting his course as a young manager – working as assistant manager at Hamburg, Borussia Monchengladbach, and Dortmund.
After helping the West African giants to seal qualification to the Mundial, he was handed a fresh short-term deal to lead an experienced technical team featuring George Boateng, Mas-Ud Didi Dramani, and former Tottenham manager Chris Hughton.
Ayew has spoken about his prospects as a coach.
“He’s a young manager, so he’s a very friendly person, very tough at the same time. He has the German style, the German mentality, and the German strictness. That’s naturally in him. He blends a bit the two,” he told Kwabena Yeboah on GTV Sports+.
“He’s a very wonderful person and a very good coach. His future is very bright as a coach and I hope and pray that he’ll lead us to a lot of victories and a lot of joy,” he added.
The 2011 BBC African Footballer of the Year award winner is set to lead Ghana’s senior men’s team to the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
