Former Black Stars head coach Otto Addo has noted that African coaches performed admirably at the 2022 World Cup and hopes that it is just the start.
The Borussia Dortmund trainer scout led the team to Group H where they earned three points after defeating South Korea.
He is back with Dortmund after leaving the Black Stars but he was left impressed by African coaches.
The tournament “opened a lot of eyes because people saw African and Asian teams can compete,” he told Forbes.
“I think you could see the impact of the (African) coaches being connected to the country. Also, tactically the teams were well prepared.”
“It (sends) the message to create, not only your own players, but taking the next step to create your own coaches. And also for the federations to believe in the coaches.
“This hopefully inspires other coaches in Africa to believe in themselves, to grow and maybe to get a chance to represent their country.”
