Prominent Ghanaian football personality and former Hearts of Oak board member, Isaac Tetteh, popularly known as TT Brothers, has expressed strong disagreement with the Ghana Football Association’s (GFA) decision to sack Otto Addo as Black Stars coach.
In an interview with Metro TV, TT Brothers questioned the timing of the sacking, citing Addo’s recent qualification of the team to the World Cup. “I don’t agree with the FA, it’s the wrong time to fire the coach,” he said. “Why the coach? Why not the entire FA? They have to look at it and rebuild the FA again.”
TT Brothers argued that the GFA shares responsibility for the team’s performance, given their role in appointing the technical team. “Winning games is not about only the coach, the FA is involved, its technical team is involved, and especially the FA who appoints the technical teams, plus the coach,” he explained.
He also questioned the competence of GFA officials making decisions on coach appointments and sackings, suggesting self-interest may be at play. “Who are those in the FA taking those decisions about hiring and firing? Are they competent to hire? Or are they just doing anything for their self-interest?”
TT Brothers believes the GFA should focus on addressing systemic issues rather than scapegoating coaches. “If we don’t solve it from the FA, we’ll bring a thousand coaches and the Black Stars will be the way it is,” he warned. “The timing is wrong; we should do everything possible for him to take the national team to the World Cup.”
