After Ghana's shambolic performance at the World Cup, Otto Addo was appointed as the head of a four-man technical team to take the Black Stars through the play-offs.

His tactical ingenuity ensured the Super Eagles were kept at bay in the first leg at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium and pinned the two-time African champions to the wall as Ghana held their West African neighbours to a 1-1 draw.

Since his feat, Otto Addo has received a truckload of praise from many football followers in the country including Ghana's sitting president His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo calling for his contract to be extended till at least the World Cup.

Black Stars players carry Otto Addo shoulder high

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that players of the Black Stars could not hide their joy as they had no option but to carry manager Otto Addo shoulder high for masterminding Ghana's fourth World Cup berth.

Otto Addo became the second Ghanaian to lead the senior men's national team to the global showpiece after Kwesi Appiah.

In a post on Twitter, spotted by Sports Brief, Otto Addo was swarmed by his charges who could not help but chant his name and carry him shoulder high.
