Born in Dessie, in the north-eastern part of Ethiopia, Yemaneberhan lost his parents in the Eritrean–Ethiopian War and landed in an orphanage in Addis Abeba. He was adopted in 2001 by an Italian couple, Roberto and Luisa Crippa, and settled with them in Trento. He was one of the nine children adopted by the couple, together with his older brothers Nekagenet and Kelemu. At the beginning he concentrated on football before switching to running in 2007, both of his brothers also being runners.[4][5]
Winning several medals in various age categories, he made his senior debut at the 2016 European Championships in Amsterdam finishing eighth in the 5000 metres. A year later he finished seventh in the 3000 metres at the 2017 European Indoor Championships in Belgrade.
In 2019, he made the 10.000 metres national record at the Doha World Championship in 27:10.76.[6]
