Otto Addo’s contract includes clause for termination over AFCON qualification failure – George Afriyie

By: Nana Kwame Bediako 

Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) Vice President George Afriyie has stirred the pot regarding the future of Black Stars coach Otto Addo.

Following Ghana’s disappointing failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco, Afriyie revealed that Addo’s three-year contract allegedly contains a termination clause tied to the team’s performance in the qualifiers. This revelation has raised eyebrows and sparked discussions among football fans.

Afriyie expressed his disbelief at the GFA’s decision to retain Addo despite the team’s lackluster performance. He questioned the rationale behind the GFA’s inaction, emphasising that the coach’s failure to secure a spot in the prestigious tournament should warrant serious consideration for his dismissal. 

“Otto Addo was given a three-year contract. I heard he said he won’t resign, but it is funny,” Afriyie remarked during an interview with Asempa FM.

The former GFA official went on to assert that the GFA has the authority to terminate Addo’s contract based on the performance clause he claims exists. “I can speak on authority that one of the clauses to terminate Otto Addo’s contract is when he fails to qualify Ghana to the AFCON,” Afriyie stated, adding that the GFA could deny his claims if they wished.

As the dust settles on Ghana’s AFCON qualification failure, the focus now shifts to the GFA and its decision-making process. Fans and analysts are left wondering whether the GFA will act on Afriyie’s claims or continue to support Addo in the face of growing criticism. The situation raises important questions about the future direction of Ghanaian football and the standards expected from its leadership.

With the Black Stars’ performance under scrutiny, the GFA faces mounting pressure to address the concerns raised by Afriyie and the public. The outcome of this situation could have significant implications for the team’s preparations for future competitions and the overall health of football in Ghana.
