History edit
Arba Minch was most recently promoted to the Premier League in 2011–12 season. After a relative smooth first three seasons in the top league, frequent changes in coaches and administrative problems led them to be struggles over the next 4 seasons. Arba Minch narrowly avoided relegation in both the 2015–16 and 2016–17 seasons.[1]
Arba Minch signed manager Tsegaye K/Mariam to a two-year contract before the 2017–18 campaign. Only to later sack the manager just a couple months into his contract.[2] After seven straight seasons in the top league Arba Minch was relegated from the Ethiopian Premier League after the 2017–18 season.[3] They rejoined the top division for the 2021-22 season.[4]
