Hapoel is a fresh shock. Following the bad results of the team, which managed to win only once and ranked below the red line, the club considered dismissing Menachem Koretzky, but the coach did the job for the management when he informed them that he was resigning.

"We decided that what was best for Ra'anana is that we parted," Koretzky said in his media statement. "I understand the situation and I thank Alon and Acta Ra'anana for the opportunity. I am sure our ways will still cross - I love everyone in the club." Owner Asher Alon added: "Menachem Koretzky is an integral part of Echo. Ann Club of the club and we are sure that our ways will be re-intersected. Koretzky decided in favor of everyone that he should quit his job at Hapoel Raanana."

Those who will replace Koretzky at this stage are his assistant, Gal Cohen, but because he does not have a pro certificate (can only stand on the lines for 30 days), the management tends to appoint a senior head coach. Raanana's leading candidate for the job is Niso Avitan, who was fired this season from Hapoel Tel Aviv. Probably, in the next few hours, both sides will come to a conclusion.
