In an interview with Sporty FM, Mr Adams revealed that his conversations with Black Stars players, fans, and even some members of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) have shown that many are uncertain about Otto Addo’s ability to meet expectations.

“The future of Otto Addo is a matter of concern to me. This issue of whether he should stay or leave is not just coming from the non-playing body, and that is what worries me,” he said.

“It’s not only the fans; the feedback I’ve received extends beyond that, including from players and some current and former members of the GFA,” he added.

Otto Addo, who was previously part of Borussia Dortmund's technical staff, faced strong criticism following Ghana’s failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). Despite this, the GFA's Executive Council voted to retain him as head coach.

Ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, there has been a shake-up in his technical team as the GFA aims to improve the team’s performance.

Mr Adams, who was vetted by Parliament’s Appointments Committee on Thursday, January 30, is set to be sworn in as the Minister for Sports and Recreation in the coming days.
