Media personality Abubakar Ahmed, widely known as Blakk Rasta, has openly criticized Black Stars’ head coach Otto Addo, describing him as arrogant.
The well-known broadcaster believes the German-trained coach owes Ghanaians an apology for the way he exited his position as Black Stars head coach in 2023.
During an interview on 3FM, Blakk Rasta expressed his disappointment in Otto Addo, stating that he has lost respect for the manager.
He further remarked that Otto Addo will not accomplish anything significant with the Black Stars if he continues to exhibit such prideful behavior.
“I have no respect for this coach called Otto Addo. I used to, but not anymore. Has he apologized for the way he left?
Putting the apology aside, has he explained to us why he left in the first place? To me, he is a two-faced individual, with one leg in the White man’s land and one leg here.
Remember, when he was called to come and coach, he told them that his heart was with his foreign team where he was an assistant coach,” he said on 3FM.
“He resigned so discourteously before he even arrived in Ghana, just like Laryea Kingston.
The good thing about Laryea Kingston is that he has apologized. But when it comes to Otto Addo, he is so proud, extremely proud.
Such a coach can never lead any team to success. Pride will never work. And I’m not saying this because he dropped Dede Ayew. He can drop the entire team and bring demons to play; I don’t mind and I don’t care,” he added.
Otto Addo, who stepped down as Ghana’s coach following the 2022 FIFA World Cup, was reinstated in March 2024.
He has since revealed the lineup for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Mali and the Central African Republic.
Ghana is set to play against Mali on Thursday, June 7, 2024, and will then face the Central African Republic at home on Monday, June 10, 2024.
