Roni Levy's affair with Betar Jerusalem officially ended with the dismissal announcement he received yesterday (Friday), but behind the scenes, as you will read later, this affair actually ended about a month and a half ago.

The following story will highlight how much owner Moshe Hogg wanted to replace his coach as early as a few weeks ago. "Israel Today" learned that last month, a few days before Betar announced Levy's stay at Beit Vagan, Celebrate called Spanish coach Paco Eastern and offered him to sign with the team. All this while Levy was under contract.

And it was not just a conversation between professionals. Celebrating presented to Eastern the plans for the 2020/21 season: which players should continue and which will be cut, talked to him about budget cuts, his and the club's ambitions, and even agreed between the parties that the coach would not bring an entire team, but would only come with an assistant. The details were already closed, but by then a lot of pressure had been exerted on celebrating Levy, especially by the professional manager Yossi Benyon.

Following the same pressures, Celebrate met with Levy at his home, where the two of us formed several matters that were not exempt from each other. Celebrating did the economic calculation and decided to give Levy another chance, but his associates knew it was a matter of time before the dismissal notice arrived. "We all felt that someday it would come, so no one was surprised by the announcement," say those around the club. We should have given them a five easily. "

The chances of him celebrating will now succeed in landing Eastern are not high, as he is coaching Tundella from the first division in Portugal. Even if the Spanish coach wants to come, celebrating will have to significantly compensate the Portuguese, which is something that does not seem to make sense in the new economic era in football. The idea of ​​a foreign team is definitely a magician to celebrate. The Greek media has even claimed that Atromitos' former coach, Sabas Pantalidis, is a candidate for the team, but the move of bringing in a foreign team has many implications, and Celebrate is examining them closely.

"Yossi did not have the strength to continue"

The team will open tonight (Sunday, 20:15) the 20/21 season in the Premier League in a game against Hapoel Haifa, where the manager of the youth team, Yossi Mizrahi, will stand on the lines. Then comes the team break, which is a good time to make the right decision regarding the identity of the next coach at home and garden. Simultaneously with the tests regarding a foreign coach, the preferred Israeli candidates for coaching the team are Shai Barda, who was also in the sights of celebrating a few weeks ago, together with his partner at Maccabi Netanya, Slobodan Drapic. The candidates' name exchange also includes Nisso Avitan and Marco Belbul.

Regarding the position of the professional manager, at least at this stage it seems that the Jerusalemites will not continue with the concept after the resignation of Yossi Benyon, who decided to leave because of Levy's dismissal. His entourage also claimed that "Yossi no longer had the strength to continue", and said that the former player suffered very harsh messages from fans after the humiliating relegation against Tauta in Albania.

The dismissal of the coach and the sudden departure of the professional manager will probably also affect the future of some of the team players.

Betar claims that if the new coach asks to keep Dan Einbinder - he will get the green light for the move. On the other hand, Shlomi Azulai, who was highly valued by the professional team, may pay the price.
