Controversial media personality Patrick Osei Agyemang, popularly known as Countryman Songo, has criticised the choice of Otto Addo as the head coach of the Black Stars, alleging that the decision has led to a decline in the nation’s revenue.

Songo did not specify the exact financial repercussions of Addo's appointment but has called on Ghanaians to direct their frustrations over the team's recent performance towards the committee responsible for hiring Addo.

He argued that the committee deviated from their stated requirement of selecting a coach with 15 years of experience, opting instead for a less experienced 'scout.'

"All the persons who were involved in the selection of Otto Addo must go. They told us they needed someone with 15 years of experience, but they went for a trainer scout.

They went for someone who is using the Black Stars to master coaching. It is a big financial loss to the state. The committee members must be dealt with."

Songo called for the head of Otto Addo and lashed out at the manager, labelling him as pompous.

"Otto Addo is not the only person who should be sacked. The only thing Otto Addo knows is speaking big English and snubbing people.

He pretends like he is a great coach who should not be criticised.

He blamed the pitch at Baba Yara for the defeat but drew with Niger on a good pitch."

The Black Stars are now without a win in two games in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers, losing 1-0 to Angola in Kumasi before a 1-1 draw against Niger in Morocco.

Angola leads the group with 6 points, followed by Sudan with 3, while Ghana and Niger are both tied with a point each at the bottom.
