German club Borussia Dortmund has extended well wishes to Black Stars head coach Otto Addo after he was involved in a car accident in Ghana.
On Sunday, September 1, 2024, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) announced that members of the Black Stars technical team, including Otto Addo, were involved in a road accident while returning from Tarkwa.
The team had been on official duty, attending the Champion of Champions match between FC Samartex 1996 and Nsoatreman FC.
The accident occurred when a Land Cruiser with registration number GR 6521-21, carrying Head Coach Otto Addo, Assistant Coach John Paintsil, and Goalkeeper Trainer Fatawu Dauda, narrowly avoided a head-on collision with a pickup truck that suddenly swerved into their lane.
Although the vehicle sustained some damage, no serious injuries were reported.
Upon hearing of the incident, Borussia Dortmund shared a message of support on social media, sending their best wishes to Otto Addo and hoping for a swift recovery for all involved.
“Otto Addo and two assistant coaches of the Ghanaian national team were injured in a car accident this morning. We wish everyone a good and speedy recovery,” Dortmund stated.
