The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has reportedly reached an agreement with Otto Addo to temporarily take charge of the Black Stars.
Addo has agreed to lead the team in next month’s 2022 World Cup play-offs against Nigeria.
President Kurt Okraku and other GFA officials were in Germany earlier this week. There, they held two meetings, one with Otto Addo and the other with Dortmund.
Dortmund gave their blessing after Otto Addo agreed to take interim charge of the Black Stars for the two games against the Super Eagles in late March.
Addo, who was the first assistant coach under the recently sacked Milovan Rajvac, is trusted by the GFA to secure qualification to Qatar.
The report added that the GFA will appoint a substantive coach after the qualifiers. Former Premier League coach Chris Hughton, who is on holiday in Ghana, is vying for the top job.
Black Stars will host the first leg encounter before travelling to Nigeria for the return leg.
The games will be played between March 24 and 29, 2022 with exact dates and kick-off times to be confirmed after CAF liaises with the two countries’ associations.
