Sometimes I observe coaches and think, \u2018I want to do it this way,\u2019 and I learn that if a certain situation arises, I shouldn\u2019t handle it like that. So I learn from all players, but certainly more from those who are approachable,\u201d he said in an interview with Sporty FM when asked about his visit to the Emirates Stadium. <\/p>\n<p>He also expressed appreciation to former Black Stars coaches who helped him gain coaching experience, especially during the 2014 World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI learned from Ghanaian players, like in 2014 when I was guiding the team and preparing them especially for the German game, with Kwasi Appiah. I\u2019m thankful to him for giving me the opportunity to learn. I also learned from Maxwell Konadu, CK Akonnor, and everyone,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Otto Addo has qualified the Black Stars for the 2026 FIFA World Cup after finishing first in Group I with 25 points.<\/p>\n<p>SB\/JE<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, watch highlights of Ghana&#8217;s 1-0 win over Comoros in the World Cup qualifiers<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta met Otto Addo at the Emirates Stadium Black Stars coach, Otto Addo has revealed&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":231768,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-231767","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231767","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=231767"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231767\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/231768"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=231767"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=231767"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=231767"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
