Former Ghana international and Borussia Dortmund talent coach Otto Addo will reclaim the head coaching job for the Black Stars, on a 34-month contract, at the end of the current Bundesliga season, the club announced on Friday.
Addo, who played for Ghana from 1999 to 2006, will take back the role he held before during the 2022 FIFA World Cup, after which he left to take a permanent role at Dortmund.
Ghana have been without a head coach since Chris Hughton's departure in the middle of the Africa Cup of Nations in January, where the Black Stars were eliminated at the group stage.
The German giants announced on X (formerly Twitter): "Borussia Dortmund and talent coach Otto Addo will part ways in the summer as he embarks on his new role as coach for the Ghanaian national team.
"We wish him nothing but the best as he embraces this exciting new chapter in his career!"
The Ghana FA confirmed the news, saying in a statement: "Otto was exceptional in the interview process and was rated highly by the search committee, hence the decision.
"There were some brilliant individuals among the coaches who applied for the job, so the committee took the pain to interview a chunk of them to pick their thoughts on their intentions to transform the team within a short period of time due to our peculiar situation.
"The committee was overly satisfied with Otto's performance for which reason he was recommended to the Executive Council for approval."
Germany-born Addo's career with Dortmund was extensive, as he played for them for six seasons, at the same time as his Ghana playing career. He also played for Hannover, Mainz, and VfL Hamburg, retiring in 2008.
