Otto Addo has announced his intention to step down from his role as head coach of the Black Stars following their 2022 World Cup group-stage elimination.

Ghana bowed out of the competition after a 2-0 defeat to Uruguay at the Al-Janoub Stadium on Friday.

Speaking to reporters after the match, the 47 year old trainer confirmed his exit;

“I always said if we qualified for the World Cup I’d resign afterwards, even if we were world champions,” he said.

“My family see our future in Germany.”

Ghana beat South Korea in between defeats by Portugal and Uruguay in Otto Addo’s last games- to finish bottom of Group H.

“Football is beautiful, sometimes it is ugly. It is ugly for us today. We have to learn and I’m very sure we will learn from this in the future,” he said.
