Little known Temesgen to lead Ethiopia Bunna to the future

-

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.
