Wubetu Abate Appointed Fasil Ketema Head Coach

Former Ethiopian national team coach Wubetu Abate is appointed head coach to former champions Fasil Ketema. Unofficial sources disclosed that Wubetu became the highest paid Coach in the country with a staggering 9 Million Birr in three years.
The former Adama, Dedebit, Hawassa, Ethiopia NegedBank and Sebeta Ketema Coach Wubetu made a name when he guided Ethiopia Bunna to first and last ever Ethiopian Premier League title in 2016. A successful stint at Sudanese side AlHilal-Shendi, well travelled Wubetu’s second stint at Fasil is much expected to bring about major changes in the overhauling of the club.
Though Wubetu resigned from the national hot seat following Ethiopia’s early elimination from the World Cup qualification campaign, he has delivered two of his promises that are qualification to African Cup of Nations and CHAN Cup finals. Wubetu’s most famous Cup of Nations qualification 2-0 away victory over Egypt made him an overnight hero that led EFF to hand him a two year contract that goes along with a record ETB 500,000.00 monthly salary.
One news source posted a statement that Wubetu had been to Rwanda to watch the home team versus visitors Mozambique match in the meantime scouting potential talents to join him at Fasil Ketema.
According to those unofficial sources it is not only about the record signing fee but a huge finance is allotted to sign the best of talents in the league as well importing foreigners who could help the club stay one of the strongest football forces in Ethiopian Premier League.
Famous for mobilizing their huge home fan base, Fasil Ketema’s supporters are said to be major players in Wubetu’s signing saga. Sources disclosed 1/3rd of the nine million Birr is to give away at the time of the contract signing then the rest divided into wages of 36 months. Wubetu’s 500,000 Birr a month as Ethiopian national team head coach was also a new record.
