Share

In a move that took everyone by sheer surprise premier league mid table finisher Wolayta Dicha appointed Tsegaye Kidane Mariam in place of Zelalem Shiferaw who made a miracle in saving the club from relegation in his just half a season stay.

Six wins, four draws and only two defeats Zelalem collected 22 points to finish eighth in the table with 33 points just eight points behind scond place Ethiopia Bunna. Zelalem helped Wolayta finish eighth in the table with total33 points. Zelalem named Best Coach of the second round but handed a marching order from the club without much clarification.
