Kurt Okraku, the President of the Ghana Football Association, praised Coach Addo for his performance and also impressing the search committee when an interview was conducted.
“Otto was exceptional in the interview process and was rated highly by the search committee, hence the decision,” Mr Okraku told ghanafa.org.
“There were some brilliant individuals among the coaches who applied for the job, so the committee took the pain to interview a chunk of them to pick their thoughts on their intentions to transform the team within a short period of time due to our peculiar situation.
“The Committee was overly satisfied with Otto’s performance, for which reason he was recommended to the Executive Council for approval,” Kurt Okraku further stated.
