Former Black Stars player Charles Taylor has claimed that John Paintsil would perform significantly better than Otto Addo as the Black Stars head coach.
Taylor argues that player management, rather than tactical expertise, is the most crucial factor in winning games.
Speaking on Angel TV, he suggested that if Otto Addo were unavailable, Paintsil would be more effective in motivating the players.
“John Paintsil can do the job better than Otto Addo if he is put in charge. Coaching isn’t just about a certain level of expertise, it’s about how you engage with the players, and that is key to winning games,” Taylor stated.
He continued, “It’s not just about the players you invite; otherwise, we would be winning our games. I’m not saying Paintsil is the perfect candidate, but in Otto’s absence, he could do a better job by motivating the players to beat teams that Otto Addo has struggled against.”
John Paintsil was appointed in March 2024 as an assistant coach under Otto Addo’s technical team. However, following a poor first year, the Ghana Football Association is reportedly considering a backroom staff reshuffle at the request of the head coach.
