International career

Dadzie played for the Ghana national team in the 1970s and early 1980s. He was key member of the squad that played in both the and 1978, 1980 African Cup of Nations helping Ghana to make history as the first country to win the competition three times and for keeps during the 1978 edition, after scoring Uganda 2–0 in the finals.[1][2][4] At a point in time, he served as the captain of the side.[5]

He regards himself as being the best ever centre-back to have played for the national team.[6]

After retiring from playing football, Dadzie went into coaching. He served as the assistant coach to E. K. Afranie in the 1990s. He also served as the assistant coach for the Ghana national under-17 football team under Cecil Jones Attuquayefio in the 1990s including serving under him during the 1999 FIFA U-17 World Championship when Ghana placed third.[7][8][9]

The team beat Liberia 11–0 on aggregate[17] in the preliminary round and women's powerhouse Nigeria on 3–2 on aggregate in the final round to qualify for the 2011 All-Africa Games – Women's tournament.[18] During the competition, he led the team to the finals, with an unbeaten record before losing to Cameroon in the final by a lone goal.[19][20]

Ghana Women
