It will be suicidal to sack Otto Addo 40 days to the world cup – Fred Pappoe

Former Ghana FA vice-president Fred Pappoe has kicked against the sacking of Black Stars head coach Otto Addo.

Since the friendly defeat to Brazil in September, there have been some calls for the Ghana national team head coach to be fired.

Speaking to Akoma FM in an interview on Tuesday, Fred Pappoe has stressed that taking a decision to sack the Borussia Dortmund tactician will be suicidal.

“The mistake Hearts of Oak made that led to their defeat to AS Bamako is the same thing people want the FA to commit, forty days to the World Cup and some people want the FA to change the coach, and bring who?

“Like we did going into the 2006 world cup, the friendly matches are being played not necessarily for results but to look out for individual performance and how systems will look for the coaches.

“We should not confuse ourselves by calling for the sack of the coach due to the performance of the team from a friendly match,” Fred Pappoe said.

The experienced football administrator added, “We should not be quick to pass judgment on whether Otto Addo is good or bad, to me he is good. We cannot change him at this time, For me that will be suicidal.”

Coach Otto Addo is under contract with the Ghana FA until December. At the moment, he has the full backing of his employers and will lead the Black Stars to the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
