Alon Hazan has also finished his position: "We need a significant change in the team" - voila! sport. Israel finished only third in the qualifiers, with its only victories over Belarus (twice) and Andorra.

The last chance to get the coveted ticket, against Iceland in the semi-finals of the qualification playoffs, ended in a real heartbreak and a 4:1 defeat. The Israeli national team will open its way in the League of Nations on September 9, when it will host Italy.
