Dire Dawa City have appointed Yitages Endale as their new head coach to lead them in the new season.
Endale was the man responsible for building a young and strong team at Adama City in recent seasons.
He has signed a four-year contract at Dire Dawa City with a 305 000 Birrs monthly salary.
Dire Dawa City have been fighting for survival in the league in the last three seasons, so Endale's focus will be to build a strong and competitive team.
Endale is one of the youngest and most promising coaches in the league.
He previously worked at Sebeta City and Fasil City as an assistant coach with Wubetu Abate and Abrham Mebratu before heading to Adama City.
Endale will hope to move Dire Dawa City up the table to a more competitive position.
Dire Dawa finished 12th with 40 points last season.
