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] In 2021, Haile was hired as the manager of Sidama Coffee S.C.[9]

His first game adverse to Lesotho,[12] he beat them 2-1[13] before facing Seychelles in his last game at Ethiopia's helm.[14]
