Charles Kwabla Akonnor never wanted Otto Addo fired after Ghana missed the Africa Cup of Nations. The former Black Stars coach said he supported keeping Addo during the team crisis. Ghana failed to reach AFCON for the first time since 2004 after finishing last place during qualifiers. Fans demanded Addo leave his job following the poor campaign results. Akonnor believes constantly changing coaches hurts players and team chemistry.

Ghana earned just three points from six qualifying games with three draws and three losses. The four-time African champions will miss the tournament happening later during 2025 at Morocco. Many supporters felt angry about the disappointing performance against weaker opponents. Addo faced heavy criticism from media and social networks after each poor result. The former Borussia Dortmund assistant coach kept working despite calls for his removal.

Recent victories against Chad and Madagascar helped restore confidence around the national team. Ghana won both World Cup qualifying matches after going six games without success. The team placed third during a recent four-nation tournament held at London. Akonnor told Citi Sports that frequent coaching changes damage squad stability. Ghana prepares for September matches against Chad and Mali during World Cup qualifying rounds.
