Ghana coach Otto Addo has stated that the national team has been on a downward spiral for some time now amid recent struggles.
For the first time in 20 years, the Black Stars might miss out on the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations following a poor run in the qualifiers. Ghana sits third in Group F after four matches with two points, with a slim chance of reaching the main tournament in Morocco.
Addo, who has been in charge of the team since March after agreeing to return as head coach, has supervised the team in all the games in the qualifiers.
In explaining his challenge as coach of the Black Stars, the German-trained tactician stated that Ghana were lucky to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
“Since not qualifying for the 2018 World Cup, we’ve been struggling as a country for a long time; we were lucky to qualify for the 2022 Qatar World Cup,” he said, as quoted by 3 News.

The former Ghana and Dortmund player has been under pressure to deliver since taking over as coach in March.
He started his second stint on a positive note after leading the team to back-to-back wins over Mali and the Central African Republic in the World Cup qualifiers.
However, Addo is yet to win a game in Group F of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, per ESPN.
This has led to Ghanaians calling for his sacking as coach after just six competitive games in charge.
