A former Communications Director of the GFA, Ibrahim Sannie Daara, has said that Otto Addo masterminded Ghana’s impressive draw with Germany at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

According to him, Addo was a scout for the national team at the time and was the one who prepared the tactics used by Kwesi Appiah for that game.

The Black Stars and Germany played out one of the most entertaining matches during the tournament in Brazil, with the game ending 2-2.

Following a goalless first half, the game sparked into life in the second half. Ghana fell behind to goal from Mario Gotze, but restored parity three minutes later through an Andre Ayew header.

“One thing Ghanaians don’t know is that Ghana’s biggest result at the 2014 World Cup was against Germany and you will remember that Germany beat every country including Brazil with more than 7 goals. Ghana was able to hold Germany,” he said.

“The tactics used by Ghana’s head coach Kwesi Appiah were prepared by Otto Addo who was then Scout for the team against Germany. He gave a concise report that helped Kwesi Appiah to pull off this massive feat.”

Addo, who is currently a scout trainer at Dortmund, is one of two candidates being considered for the vacant Black Stars coach. 

The other candidate is former Newcastle United and West Ham United boss Chris Hughton.
