Asamoah Gyan, the former Black Stars striker, has appealed to Ghanaians to exercise patience with Otto Addo and allow him the necessary time to revitalize the team.

During an interview on Asempa FM on Wednesday, April 3, 2024, Gyan emphasised the importance of giving the coach sufficient time as the team undergoes a rebuilding phase.

"Otto Addo has returned. It's a different atmosphere and different players. Although he has worked with some of the players, I think it's still a process. He also came with a new staff so it's a different era," said Asamoah Gyan on Asempa FM.

He added that, just like Otto Addo’s first stint, Ghanaians should throw their weight behind the coach.

"Let's see what he also has for us. We will support him through his rebuilding to see where he can take us. Ghanaians will be the ones to judge what he has done so I think we should give him time to rebuild his team,” Gyan said.

Otto Addo, returning for his second term as head coach of the Black Stars, previously guided Ghana to qualification for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

However, his second tenure commenced with disappointment as the team failed to secure a victory in the two matches played during the March 2024 international break. The Black Stars suffered a 2-1 defeat to Nigeria and managed only a 2-2 draw against Uganda.

It's worth noting that both Asamoah Gyan and Otto Addo represented Ghana at the 2006 World Cup held in Germany.
