I have a contract with Borussia Dortmund – Otto Addo on his decision to resign as Black Stars coach

Otto Addo says he has resigned from his role as the head coach of the Black Stars to focus on his role as a talent trainer for Borussia Dortmund.

The 47-year-old following Ghana's elimination from the 2022 World Cup announced his resignation after losing 2-0 to Uruguay in their final Group H match on Friday.

The Black Stars exited the tournament with just three points and finished at the bottom.

“It has not got to do with the outcome of the result [Ghana’s World Cup elimination]. It would have ended if we were world champions. I have to respect the contract. I have to respect the club I am working for.” Addo told the media in Doha.

“Surely maybe one day I will get the chance to work with the GFA again but for the next two and half years, I have a contract with Dortmund and I have to respect that," he added.

Addo took over the Ghana job back in February following Serbian coach Milovan Rajevac’s sack after a disastrous campaign at this years’ Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.

Addo guided the Black Stars to the 2022 World Cup after beating Nigeria at the play-off stage in March.
