Forty days ago, when Moshe was celebrating with a solemn announcement that Roni Levy was continuing for another season, the coach did not feel comfortable with it and said in closed conversations: "It is a pity that it is only because of the issue of compensation and not professional evaluation." Celebrating and Levy may have talked before and built things up, but last year's table was not really cleared and all the way there was a feeling in the air that the coach was on the guillotine and did not really have a blanket for the rest of the way. In general, the decision to stay was made on the assumption that there is no crowd this season and therefore the antigoneism and fan protests against the coach are canceled, or as a club source said yesterday: "If there was a crowd this season, "Related to the fact that the games are without an audience, in retrospect a wrong decision that did not do any good to either party."

Days will tell if it is possible to take out of the current Betar Jerusalem more than third place or much better quality football, but at least for Roni Levy and Moshe Hogg, the gap in expectations was abysmal. The owner saw the team jump to 1-2 places this season and vice versa, the coach saw a team with The current squad is not worth much more than last season. A few weeks ago, a board and professional team meeting was held, in which he celebrated: "If I bring a noble Omar - is it a championship?" And was answered by the coach not to add at least 3-4 more significant and leading players To challenge Maccabi Tel Aviv and Maccabi Haifa, already in the Toto Cup games you could hear the owner's dissatisfaction with the team's ability and the feeling in the air was that apart from a dizzying success at the start of the season, Roni Levy would have a hard time continuing at the club.

Yossi Benyon did not leave because of Roni Levy. Already at the end of last season, when it came to the possibility that the coach would not continue, the professional manager thought of other options. If it were not for the issue of compensation that plagued Betar, it would also happen. In Benyon's announcement to the players, he spoke of an emotional "roller coaster" and in fact expressed the unhealthy emotions that accompanied him in office this year. It is not certain that Israeli football is ready today for a professional manager. The only professional manager in Israeli football at this time and finished his way. In an era where the owners pay with their money they want to be much more involved, and also determine and decide in certain situations. Even yesterday, after Benyon left, he celebrates knowledge in closed conversations Bring the money and I want to be involved and whole with every decision, that if it fails I will know it is my way and my faith and not something I have to accept. "This is the full right of a celebrant, and here is the essence of gaps between owner and professional manager, who wants 100% of the authority. Benyon is aiming for similar positions overseas, he understands that in Israel it will already be difficult to accept these powers.

To understand how much understanding there is for the position, one has to go back to the playoff games in the Corona era. The current and under him will be a young coach. " There is no professional manager in the country, "he insisted. Benyon refused the artist, insisted he was building himself as a professional manager and would only continue in that role. After two very tense weeks the owner relented and then approved the stay of Roni Levy for another season, which explains how hopeless the whole situation was in the first place.

What will happen now? Celebrating took the weekend to think and then will make decisions, in collaboration with Eli Ohana and possibly also Yossi Mizrahi, the youth team coach who will stand on the lines tomorrow against Hapoel Haifa. Celebrates wants to stop and make longer-term decisions. Due to this, the procurement issue is stopped and accelerated only after the addition of a coach, in accordance with the professional requirements. The owner wants youngsters like Aviel Zargari and Uziel Pardo to get more minutes this season and that may affect the staff structure, even the addition of a foreign back contact, however the final decisions will only be made after appointing a professional team.

As for the professional team, Celebrates talks about the possibility of a foreign team but due to the complex situation and the fact that a foreign coach will not have enough time to get to know the team when the league is already starting, the priority at the moment is for an Israeli. Although Slobodan Drapic and Shai Barda have already agreed that they will have to work separately, the two would very much like to continue together, and if Betar wants them it will be possible to reach financial understandings, given the fact that Maccabi Netanya will also participate in their salaries. The crowd and can bring new energies to the club.

If Betar decides to add just one of the two, Shai Barda may be the one to come to Beit Vagan, with Marco Belbul's name also mentioned. And yet, in Betar as in Betar, it is not inconceivable that tomorrow's victory against Hapoel Haifa will leave Yossi Mizrahi a little longer than he expected in the position, when the owner will take the time to think and understand exactly what he wants to see from his coach. What is certain, will be interesting.

Yesterday afternoon, the players were notified that they would be fined 20% of the August base salary. The players do not agree with this and the players' organization has already sent clarification to Betar Jerusalem on the issue. The Jerusalem staff do not want to make too much noise at the moment and will work on the issue with the management after the game against Hapoel Haifa. "Like canceling the contract," players said last night. Betar insisted yesterday that the decision was made in a storm of emotions and may be canceled later, so they advised the players to wait a bit for developments. Even on a moral level, Betar will not be able to fine players who were not included in the squad or did not take part in a game like Dan Einbinder and Or Zehavi.
