Yossi Abukasis is the coach of Israeli champions Beitar Jerusalem. Beitar almost disappeared from the Israeli football landscape last season.
Abukasi was the architect of the deal that brought Barak Abramov to Beitar. "I told him Beitar will put more money, but if you succeed you'll be on top of the world," he says. "We deserved to be credited for all the suffering we went through," he adds. "Coaching the Israeli national team is the most fascinating challenge there is"
