The 44-year-old coach has spent the last two years on a roller coaster: from failure in Betar Jerusalem, through relegation with Maccabi Petah Tikva to celebrations of returning to the Premier League a few weeks ago.

If that were possible, Guy Luzon would have erased last season from memory. The dismissals from Betar Jerusalem and the relegation from the league with Maccabi Petah Tikva made his past achievements a little more common, but tonight the 44-year-old coach was found to have taken a step away from what he longed for most of all - a bachelor's degree in his career. If that happens, he will be the first to win the Malabes Cup since 1952
We will not go into too much of the reasons why she did not connect with Luzon last season at home and garden. Okay, let's settle for a little quote from his associates: "Expect Guy to take a team that put him together in two weeks from anyone who was thrown out of the league and turn it into Manchester City. It's a fantasy."
From here, we will dive immediately to the days after the relegation of Maccabi Petah Tikva to the national league. To the Premier League in just one season. But it turns out that this was not the most important decision the coach made.

"The most important thing Guy did this season is that he blew up all the older players who were here and shed young blood," the club said.

And the statistics do speak for themselves: the average age of the players who will be in the squad today is 22.6 years, compared to the squad that was relegated, so the average age was 29 years. It was even played by 36- and 34-year-old young players, 20-19 years old, such as Arad Bar, Liel Abda and Or Belorian. From the revolution Luzon made.
"Luzon Babies," Maccabi Tel Aviv striker Yonatan Cohen called them, and tonight they will have an opportunity that does not come every year - to win a bachelor's degree in the club's alumni group. Good luck
