Holding the post of Yemen Football Association technical director, Mebratu expressed concern for the preparation of the Under-23 players ahead of the 2016 AFC U-23 Championship due to the Yemeni Civil War which is afflicting football in Yemen by the prorogation of the local league.[4]

In March 2018, his Yemen senior team qualified for the 2019 AFC Asian Cup for the first time.[7]
