<p>Ghana will be absent from next year’s tournament in Morocco after finishing at the bottom of a group that contained Angola, Sudan and Niger.</p>

<p>The Black Stars’ hopes of qualifying for the AFCON were ended following their 1-1 draw with Angola in Luanda last Friday.</p>

<p>However, they did very little to impress their home fans in their final qualifying game, having been beaten 1-2 by Niger at the Accra Sports Stadium on Monday.</p>

<p>The defeat saw the four-time African champions end the qualifying campaign in embarrassing fashion, with no wins from six matches.</p>

<p>It also marked the first time in two decades that Ghana have failed to qualify for the AFCON, having last done so in 2004.</p>

<p>While Otto Addo rendered an unqualified apology to the Ghanaian supporters in his post-match press conference, some still took to social media to hit out at his performance in the dugout.</p>

<p>It remains to be seen whether the under-fire 49-year-old will be sacked but he appears to be in the bad books of many fans at the moment.</p>
