Media personality Abubakar Ahmed, commonly known as Blakk Rasta, has criticized Black Stars' head coach Otto Addo, labelling him as prideful.

The renowned broadcaster claims the German-trained gaffer owes Ghanaians an apology for the manner in which he left his role as Black Stars head coach in 2023.

Speaking on 3FM, he expressed his loss of respect for the manager, adding that Otto Addo will not achieve anything substantial with the Black Stars if he maintains such traits.

"I have no respect for this coach called Otto Addo. I used to, but not anymore. Has he apologized for the way he left? Putting the apology aside, has he explained to us why he left in the first place? To me, he is a two-faced individual, with one leg in the White man's land and one leg here. Remember, when he was called to come and coach, he told them that his heart was with his foreign team where he was an assistant coach," he said on 3FM.

"He resigned so discourteously before he even arrived in Ghana, just like Laryea Kingston. The good thing about Laryea Kingston is that he has apologized. But when it comes to Otto Addo, he is so proud, extremely proud. Such a coach can never lead any team to success. Pride will never work. And I'm not saying this because he dropped Dede Ayew. He can drop the entire team and bring demons to play; I don't mind and I don't care," he added.

Otto Addo, who left his role as Ghana coach after the 2022 FIFA World Cup, was re-appointed in March 2024.

He has announced his squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Mali and Central African Republic.

Ghana will visit Mali on Thursday, June 7, 2024, before hosting the Central African Republic on Monday, June 10, 2024.
