The Black Stars’ hopes of playing at the tournament in Morocco next year were dashed after drawing 1-1 with Angola on Friday.
Following the team’s failure to qualify, the former Borussia Dortmund trainer scout has faced mounting criticism, with several fans calling for his dismissal.
Ghana has failed to claim a single victory across five rounds of games, leaving them in 4th place in Group F with three points, having found the net only twice.
In response to his detractors, Addo pointed to his extensive experience under renowned coaches, including former Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp and Matthias Sammer, formerly with Dortmund, highlighting the calibre of mentorship he has received.
“I trained under Sammer. I trained under Klopp; I was assistant to Edin Terzic, who was Dortmund’s head coach,” Addo told the press.
“They are also critical of some things, but this has much more value if I speak to Jürgen Klopp and he says this or that than somebody from anywhere saying blah blah, this is bad.
“People can judge me, and surely, most people can judge me by my results, which were not good,” he added.
Meanwhile, the Black Stars will wrap up their qualifiers with a home game against Niger on Monday at the Accra Sports Stadium, with kick-off scheduled for 16:00 GMT.
