Ghana and Dortmund currently enjoy a great relationship, with the club allowing their assistant manager Otto Addo to take charge of the Black Stars earlier this year.

Addo was appointed as Ghana’s interim coach in February, but still serves as a scout and assistant trainer at Dortmund.

The 42-year-old went ahead to guide Ghana to qualify for the Qatar 2022 World Cup following victory on away goals against West African rivals Nigeria.
