After removing his candidacy for coaching the Israeli national team, Eyal Berkowitz provided a special interview on "News 12" tonight explaining the reason he gave up his dream job. Among other things, the past player admitted to meeting with the soccer association chairman, Oren Hasson. "We met, I explained my" I believe "to him. He said he liked it, and then I read that there was a detection committee, with all the combinators. One brings Eli Ohana, who is his friend, and then Eli Cohen who is his friend. I have no problem with Ohana. I'm just not ready to come to the Detection Committee. "

The 48-year-old added: "I have no ego, I'm dying to be the varsity coach. Everyone knows my pros and cons. What I bring and what I don't bring. Oren Hasson knows everything. And leave me. Do you want Abram Grant to call the committee?

He said about past coaches in white and blue: "The attitude here of coaches is wrong, and I want to change it. First of all, they want to defend, I want to go ahead. I want them to have the confidence to say: For the last ten years, except for a short period at Andy Herzog's. I saw where they came from. The Gutmans, the decorators, Elisha. They've got 7,000 performances together.
