Addo was the man who led Ghana to the World Cup in 2022 in Qatar and has already started his second tenure on a good note after back-to-back victories in the qualifiers.

Djiku, who played in both games, extolled the qualities of coach Addo, claiming he is one of the best 'man-managers' in the world.
“He knows the players really well,” Djiku told FIFA. "He’s the one who got us to Qatar. He played for Ghana, so he knows the ins and outs of the national team.
"He’s a great leader, first and foremost. A lot of young guys have been brought into the squad, so we need a coach who excels at man-management, and Addo is unmatched in that department.”
The Black Stars, currently on form, will return to action in March 2025 when the World Cup qualifiers resume to face Chad and Madagascar, per US Soccerway.
