Black Stars head coach, Otto Addo
Black Stars head coach, Otto Addo and some members of his backroom staff are reportedly owed over six months’ unpaid salaries.
Reports filed by Sporty FM claim that the German-trained gaffer has yet to receive monies due him for the last six months.
In November, the Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Henry Asante Twum, affirmed reports that the Black Stars technical team are owed some salary arrears.
Speaking in an interview with Joy FM, Asante Twum clarified that it is not Addo alone whose salary had not been paid, but the entire coaching staff.
“I am not sure they have been fully paid by now because there are some salaries that are in arrears and we have to face it. We owe him [Otto Addo] a few months. Not him alone but the entire backroom staff,” he said.
The backroom staff were reportedly owed three months’ salary arrears as of November 2024. However, they have yet to receive the outstanding amount, extending the delay to seven months, including March.
Meanwhile, the GFA made changes to the technical team in January, appointing Desmond Offei as an assistant manager to replace Joseph Laumann.
