German club Borussia Dortmund has extended a goodwill message to Black Stars head coach Otto Addo following a road accident in Ghana.

On Sunday, September 1, 2024, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) reported that members of the Black Stars technical team, including head coach Otto Addo, were involved in a car accident while returning from Tarkwa. The team had been on an official assignment, observing the Champion of Champions clash between FC Samartex 1996 and Nsoatreman FC.

The vehicle, a Land Cruiser with registration number GR 6521-21, carrying Head Coach Otto Addo, Assistant Coach John Paintsil, and Goalkeeper Trainer Fatawu Dauda, narrowly avoided a head-on collision with a pickup truck that veered into its lane, resulting in some damage to the vehicle.

Upon learning of the incident, Borussia Dortmund took to social media to send their best wishes to Otto Addo, wishing him and the other injured coaches a speedy recovery.

“Otto Addo and two assistant coaches of the Ghanaian national team were injured in a car accident this morning. We wish everyone a good and speedy recovery,” Dortmund stated.
