Ghana head coach Otto Addo has decided to resign from his role as Manager of the Black Stars of Ghana.
The decision has been made as Otto Addo will continue as an assistant coach at Borussia Dortmund.
The 47-year-old, former Ghana international who was born in Germany and played for the Black Stars in their first World Cup finals appearance in 2006, had been a surprise appointment, parachuted in between Ghana’s ignominious exit at the January Africa Cup of Nations finals and their March World Cup qualifying playoff tie against Nigeria.

“I said before, it was clear I would stop after the World Cup. At the moment, me and my family see our future in Germany, I like my role at Dortmund,” Addo said after Ghana exited the tournament following a 2-0 loss to Uruguay at the Al Janoub Stadium.
Addo works as “talent coach” at the Bundesliga club, where he previously played.
“I said I would resign after the World Cup even if we were world champions,” he added.
Addo joins Roberto Martinez (Belgium), Carlos Queiroz (Iran) and Gerardo Martino (Mexico) as coaches who immediately left their jobs after World Cup elimination this week.
