The giant striker famous for wandering throughout Asian Football had had a number of brief spells to clubs in South Africa, Czech Republic, Finland, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Malaysia and India takes to reigns at Sebeta shouldering a huge burden of helping the side to survive at the top tier.
Fikru’s duty is to work closely with Head Coach Zelalem Shiferaw to add technical input and directions into the squad’s performance in order to steer the club out of relegation and focus on youth development.
One win, four draws and four defeats to sit second from bottom with seven points Sebeta’s prospect of preserving their top flight status look bleak thus the club officials took serious measures on Tuesday suspending long serving assistant Berhan Debele and instructor Daniel G/Mariam.
