He achieved regional success with the Ethiopia national football team in 2005 when he won the CECAFA Cup during his first spell as manager.[1]
In October 2011, Sewnet was re-appointed to the position after the resignation of Belgian coach, Tom Saintfiet.[2] A year later, he helped Ethiopia qualify for their tenth Africa Cup of Nations tournament since 1982.[3] He was sacked in August 2014, following poor results in 2014 World Cup qualifiers final game as Ethiopia suffered a loss to Nigeria by aggregate on its attempt to reach the 2014 FIFA World Cup.[4][5]
