Avraham Grant and the Zambian national team were eliminated from the African Championship yesterday (Wednesday) after losing 1:0 to Morocco, who advanced to the round of 16.
What caught the eye was the warm embrace between the star of the Marokani Hakim Zaish and the Israeli coach after the final whistle.
The two were seen talking, and apparently the connection between them was made when Grant was a consultant to Roman Abramovich at Chelsea, in the days when Zeish played for the Blues.

The hug surprised quite a few football fans, probably in light of the activities of the two during the "Iron Swords" war.
After the events of October 7.
On October 14, Zeish posted a picture of destroyed buildings in Gaza and quoted Malcolm X who claimed that Israel was committing "genocide" and added the controversial call: "From the river to the sea - Palestine will be free."
Grant Mengad became an information ambassador, was interviewed on the program of senior journalist Piers Morgan and attacked the ignorance of the English who go against Israel, including former player Gary Lineker.
