Controversial broadcaster, Patrick Osei Agyemang, affectionately known as Countryman Songo, has claimed that the appointment of Otto Addo as Black Stars head coach has negatively impacted the country's revenue.

Without explaining how Otto Addo's appointment has caused financial loss, Songo urged Ghanaians to channel their anger regarding the team's recent performance to the committee that appointed the former Borussia Dortmund trainer.

He asserted that the committee went against their requirement of a manager with 15 years of experience to appoint a 'scout' with less experience.

"All the persons who were involved in the selection of Otto Addo must go. They told us they needed someone with 15 years of experience but they went for a trainer scout. They went for someone who is using the Black Stars to master coaching. It is a big financial loss to the state. The committee members must be dealt with."

Songo called for the head of Otto Addo and lashed out at the manager, labelling him as pompous.

"Otto Addo is not the only person who should be sacked. The only thing Otto Addo knows is speaking big English and snubbing people. He pretends like he is a great coach who should not be criticized. He blamed the pitch at Baba Yara for the defeat but drew with Niger on a good pitch."

The Black Stars are now without a win in two games in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers, losing 1-0 to Angola in Kumasi before a 1-1 draw against Niger in Morocco.

Angola leads the group with 6 points, followed by Sudan with 3, while Ghana and Niger are both tied with a point each at the bottom.
