Girma leaves AbaBuna; Ezedin new boss at Hossana

The former Mugher Cement and Ethiopian national U-17 team head coach Girma Habte Yohannes resigned along with his assistant Elias Teshale in a mutual agreement with Jimma AbaBuna. Ezedin Abdella took over as new boss to Hadiya Hossana.
Popular for his down to earth behavior and hard to believe patience with young talent, Girma appeared to be in discomfort with the pressure from promotion aspiring Jimma AbaJifar. Replacing the now with Jimma AbaJifar head coach Gebremedin Haile, Girma appeared to build slowly but steadily currently sitting eighth in the Super League table collecting 14 points from four wins, three draws and two defeats. The home draw against Mekki happened to be the last straw.
The club officials resigned earlier, some of the senior players were mad because of lack of payment and support from fans so Girma;’s frustration boiled over.
Also in the run is the assistant coach Elias Teshale who declined the offer previously. Naming the goal keeper coach to shift to head coach, AbaBuna’s officials are said to be in head hunt of a capable head coach.
In other news former Premier League side Hadiya-Hossana appointed the former Selte Werabe head coach Ezedin Abdella in place of Eyob Maale who recently took over at Arbaminch. Lucky Ezedin kicked-off his job with a 3-0 debut victory over Diredawa Police courtesy of a hat trick from young Ibsa Fekadu.
