Klopp Trained Me; Otto Addo Flaunts His Credentials
Despite guiding Ghana in a disqualification from the Africa Cup of Nations tournament for the first time in two decades, Head Coach of the Black Stars, Otto Addo has indicated that he is the best man and has what it takes to lead the team.
He flaunted his credentials in the face of Ghanaians who think he lacks what it takes to lead the team, adding, “People can judge me, and surely most of the people will judge me by the results, which were not good.”
Speaking at a press conference on Sunday evening, he announced, “I trained under Mathias Sammer. I was trained by Jurgen Klopp’s club. I trained, or I was assistant to Edin Tezic when he was the Dortmund head coach.”
He said he has built friends and mentors out of these relationships to enhance his career as a football manager.
Addo disclosed that he rather takes commentaries from these people which he deems to be more valuable than any other person’s.
“And surely we have chats. And for me, this is relevant. If they say this or that, they are also critical of some things, and I understand this, but this has much more value. If I speak to your club and say this or that, If I send you maybe some scenes, then somebody from anywhere is saying, oh, blah, blah, blah, this is bad. I try to get better every day, but I can assure you that I also question some games.”
Meanwhile, the former Dortmund coach managed to get just three points from five games played in the AFCON qualifiers.
