Otto Addo meets Thomas Partey and Alexander Djiku
Black Stars coach Otto Addo has visited Thomas Partey and Alexander Djiku, strengthening his connection with key players ahead of the 2025 World Cup qualifiers in March.
His visits come amid speculation about unrest in the Black Stars camp, though no concrete issues have been confirmed.
Addo, who will lead the new Black Stars technical team, is focused on reviving the team after a disappointing 2024, which saw Ghana fail to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Determined to get the squad back on track, the former Borussia Dortmund assistant coach has intensified his efforts, engaging with key players, including Djiku and Partey.
The two players were previously rumored to have been involved in a dressing room dispute, which allegedly led to their absence from Ghana’s last two AFCON qualifiers against Angola and Niger. However, Addo’s recent visits suggest a move toward strengthening team unity.
He met Djiku in Turkey, sharing a moment with the defender before heading to England to meet deputy captain Partey. During his visit, Addo also had discussions with Partey’s manager at Arsenal, Mikel Arteta.
