The Crocodiles are winless in six league outings, prompting fans to demand changes in the club’s management. The board of Arbaminch has now removed the former Ethiopian international Debebe from his positions as technical director and team leader.


Former player and assistant coach Geresu Shemena has also been dismissed from his post but head coach Demu has retained his role under certain conditions. Demu has been given three games to turn his fortunes around at the club.


The club sits 11th with 35 points. Former midfielder Demu is credited with leading the team back to the top flight at the start of the season. The Southern Ethiopian side is currently on a three-game losing streak and hopes to bounce back when they face Diredawa Ketema in their Round 30 encounter on Saturday.
