Club career
Coaching Defence Force S.C. from the start of the 2011-12 Ethiopian Premier League, he vacated his position upon expiry of his contract in July 2016. Gebremedhin took Defence Force S.C. to three Ethiopian Cup finals, winning two.[5] When managing Defence Force S.C. in 2014, he was banned for five matches for obtrusively yelling at a referee for not giving an opposing defender a red card for what he saw as violent play. The two had to be restrained to prevent the fight to escalate[6]
In January 2017 Haile was hired as the manager of Jimma Aba Buna.[7]
In August 2018 Haile was hired to be the manager of Mekelle City FC.[8]
Ethiopia National Team
Taking over from the sacked Yohannes Sahle in May 2016,[9] it was decided he was to be interim coach for a short term-from May to October 9, 2016.[10]
His first game adverse to Lesotho,[11] he beat them 2-1[12] before facing Seychelles in his last game at Ethiopia's helm.[13]
Dismissed from national team manager duties in late 2016, he was replaced by Ashenafi Bekele.[14]
