The Football Association was surprised by Eyal Berkovich's outburst against the search committee ("Combining Committee") and the public announcement that he was withdrawing his candidacy to coach the Israeli national team. It now turns out that even before that, Berkowitz sent to the chairman of the association, Oren Hasson, who is also a member of the committee, that he does not intend to stand up and present his believing self as the next national team coach.

A source in the association said on the subject: "Eyal Berkowitz could have been elected the national team coach. His conduct is unclear and disrespectful."

The search committee, which appointed Eli Ohana, Shino Zoarz, Eli Cohen and, as mentioned, Oren Hasson, will soon meet with the final candidates. Among the names are Yossi Aboksis, Nir Klinger and it is possible that Roni Levy will also be invited. Abacus is given some priority, though things can still change. Regarding the possibility that Avraham Grant will be appointed to the post for the second time, the association was pessimistic due to his high salary.

The Israeli team is about two months before its games in the League of Nations on the promotion to the 2022 World Cup. It was drawn in the second tier with Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Scotland. Also, expect the Nations League semi-final team on the ticket to Euro 2021, where it will meet the Scots again.
