Bnei Yehuda's announcement last night of the end of the team's coach Elisha Levy's surprised quite a few people, but it turns out that behind the scenes there was a real brief between the coach and owner Barak Abramov, which lasted for a long time.
"We did not see things eye to eye," a source in the team said of the farewell to the coach.
The reasons for this were mainly regarding staff-related decisions.
Levy wanted to add Betar Jerusalem striker Shlomi Azulai, but the owner objected, claiming that he wanted to bring in a young attacking player.
In addition, Abramov also did not like the participation of Muhammad Gadir and pressured to promote the young striker Roi Ben Shimon, who is considered a great potential.
The highlight came with the signing yesterday of young stopper Paddy Najar, who was acquired from Maccabi Tel Aviv, but the coach did not support his signing.
So who will replace Elisha Levy now?
The neighborhood claims that "we are in no hurry to get anywhere", especially in light of the fact that all football teams can not train at least until the 14th of the month.
At this point the three candidates of the Orange management for the position of the next coach of the team are Ofir Haim, Nisso Avitan and Marco Belbul.
Meanwhile, Michael Rangel, a 21-year-old Brazilian defender, today signed a three-year contract with Bnei Yehuda.
Rangel, who belonged to Brazil's youth squad, joins Brazilian Flamengo.
