Former Sheffield United player Onuora has been sacked as Ethiopia coach |
The Ethiopia Football Federation (EFF) says it will decide in the next few weeks whether to appoint another foreign coach or go for a local one.
The EFF are looking for a new trainer after the departure of British coach Iffy Onuora last week.
The exact reasons behind his exit are still very unclear.
The EFF general secretary Ashenafi Ejigu would simply say: “We had a problem with his personality.”
He went onto to say that the decision had been reached by “mutual consent.”
Onura, who was appointed as coach in July last year, has now returned to the United Kingdom but is yet to comment on the decision.
During his time in charge he has led Ethiopia to the semi-finals of the East and Central African regional tournament, the Cecafa Senior Challenge.
Ethiopia are currently third in Group B of the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers with three points, behind group leaders Guinea and Nigeria.
In their last qualifier in March Ethiopia lost 4-0 to Nigeria in Abuja – the two sides meet again in June.
