The coach who parachuted out of nowhere to claim popular side Ethiopia Bunna hot seat, Temesgen Dana heralded that he is here to help the side win long eluded Premier League title. “I am here for nothing but to bring home the championship trophy” Temesgen told the sellout crowd gathered at AbebeBikila stadium to welcome the club’s newly signed footballers.
The transfer of golden boy AbubekerNaser to South African Sundown, the termination of coach KassyeArage followed by the departure of midfielder Tafesse Solomon and winger William Solomon, Ethiopia Bunna faces a challenging transition under little known Temesgen who boasts just two brief spells with Debub Police and WolkiteKetema.
With the rumor that national coach Wubetu Abate might take over the hot seat for his second spell vapor into thin air, Temesgen has now carried the burden of steering the club to a better position than his predecessor KasayeArage who booted out after a fiasco three seasons.
Temesgen, currently in a preseason preparation at Adama, has signed more than twelve new faces including a foreign defender from Ghana. The tall defender KuwakuDuha is the first foreign player to join Ethiopia Bunna since three years.
Midfielder AbdulhafizTofik, central defense W/AmanuelPutu and full back H/Michael Adeferes from Sebeta, striker ChalaTeshita and midfielder AbdulkerimWorku from Wolkite, strikers BerukBeyene and MesfinTafesse from Hawasa are of the few to mention the new faces at Ethiopia Bunna.
In the meantime the team appointed former star player TafesseTesfaye as deputy team leader while YosefTesfaye and NetsnetFikre named assistant and goalkeeper coaches respectively. The guy from UK Mikael Hailu also joined the side as Physical Trainer.
