However, he was replaced by Chris Hughton, who was sacked after the Black Stars’ disastrous group-stage exit at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Kuffour, who played alongside Addo during the 2006 World Cup, believes the GFA made the right decision by re-appointing the former Borussia Dortmund midfielder as Ghana’s head coach.
“I had the opportunity to play with him and also saw him as a technical person during the qualifiers against Nigeria and the tournament itself in Qatar,” Kuffour told Saddick Adams.
“Otto Addo is someone who always wants the best, influenced by his background in Germany. Germans have a different mentality, upbringing, and he knows what he wants.”
He added: “He speaks to me a lot. Sometimes after training, he asks me what I observed. If there’s something about a player’s body language that I didn’t like, he suggests that I talk to the player.”
“Bringing him back was a good choice. Forget about whatever happened at the World Cup and focus on what we are doing now, especially in the World Cup qualifiers.”
Meanwhile, the Black Stars currently sit joint-top of Group I in the CAF World Cup qualifiers on nine points, alongside Comoros.
