Erling Braut Haaland has extoled Ghana coach Otto Addo for guiding him at the early stages of his career at Dortmund.

Otto Addo helped Haaland transition from Austrian football to the German Bundesliga, as he took less time to establish himself at the Signal Iduna Park.

Haaland completed his 60 million euros switch to Manchester City this week, and in a documentary for his last days at the club, the striker hailed the Black Star coach.
