On Wednesday, Robbie Keane won his first title as a coach after he and his apprentices at Maccabi Tel Aviv beat Maccabi Haifa in the final of the Toto Cup after a penalty shootout. At the same time, the journalists in Ireland are not in a hurry to congratulate him, mainly because of political reasons.

Kieran Cunningham of the "Irish Daily Star" visited the column that appeared this morning (Friday) about the former striker.
"We celebrate what Robbie Keane is doing, and he is successful in Israel, but he shouldn't be there with everything that is happening in Gaza. There are 200 athletes who signed a petition calling for a ceasefire, this includes former Robbie Keane's coaches and teammates, but how can you ignore what What's going on there?"

Cunningham also wrote: "Kein ignores what's happening and tries to ignore the background noise, he's not a guy who talks about politics publicly, but that's not good enough. The Israeli regime needs to be boycotted and people like Kein prevent that. There aren't many Irish coaches who win titles in other countries, But we don't need to celebrate Robbie Keane's success. He is different from Brendan Rodgers or Martin O'Neill. Many stopped seeing Robbie Keane the same way because of his work in Israel."
