Addo, who was hired in March 2024 on a three-year deal, has faced heavy criticism for failing to qualify the national team for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON)—a setback Ghana hasn't experienced in 20 years.

In six qualifying matches, the Black Stars failed to secure a single win, finishing last in Group F with only three points.

Over the past year, the senior team recorded just two wins in 14 games, with Addo in charge of 10 of those matches.

Nyantakyi, a former CAF 1st Vice President, believes these poor results clearly show that Addo has not lived up to expectations.

“With the performance of the Black Stars under Otto Addo, everything shows that he is not doing well,” he told Asempa FM’s Sports Nite.

“The last time Ghana failed to qualify for an AFCON tournament was twenty years ago and under Otto Addo, we did not qualify so he has not performed.”

While Nyantakyi refrained from directly calling for Addo’s dismissal, he emphasized that the results speak for themselves.

“I am not in the position to say he has to be sacked or stay but the numbers are there for all of us to see,” he added.

The GFA has not yet decided on Otto Addo’s future after the team's failure to qualify for the AFCON.

However, the Black Stars are scheduled to meet again in March for their World Cup qualifying matches.
