Football Association warning sign

Maccabi Tel Aviv's failure to select foreign coaches should be in front of the eyes of the heads of the Football Association when it comes to determining who will coach the Israeli team after the end of the current campaign.

Two and a half weeks have passed since Maccabi Tel Aviv fired Patrick Van Leven and there is still no new coach. Jack Englidis and Barak Yitzhaki wanted to go back to what worked, Vladan Ivic, and rightly so, but the Serb gave up. This is the second season in a row that Maccabi Tel Aviv, the flagship of Israeli football for the past ten years, is shattering on the foreign coach's shore. Georgios Donis was thrown home last season as early as December. Van Leven did not even arrive in November. Jordi Cruyff's first three years as a professional manager were accompanied by great success in selecting coaches. Oscar Garcia, Paulo Sousa, Paco Eastern, Slavisha Yukanovich. One by one, coaches who only succeeded succeeded in landing in Kiryat Shalom. But after that came the less good years with fool Arbeldeza who was also fired very quickly, Lito Vidigal who really did not fit and even Peter Boss who did not know how to press the gas at the right moment and take a championship. Even the great Cruyff failed to lead Maccabi Tel Aviv to the championship. Ivica has been exceptional for more than 6 years.A sea of ​​time in terms of a hungry club like Maccabi Tel Aviv.

With all due respect to money and goodwill, this duo has proven that it is not easy to find a successful foreign coach.

Donis van Leven, the last two fired, were said to have lost the locker room.

Donis was furious when he heard that this was what was written here and hurried to Kiryat Shalom and laughed with the players after he was thrown home so that they would not even say in Greece that he did not know how to hold a locker room.

This is very important for coaches.

Roni Levy once told me that if he was fired from a group, it would hurt him the most to be told that he was not a tactician and was not systematic.

Which is the most important element for him.

But there are coaches that the direction of the locker room affects them the most and when they are said to have lost the confidence of the players, it hurts them the most.

Van Leven vs. Donis did not paint a rosy picture after his dismissal and instead of rushing to Kiryat Shalom, rushed to Instagram and removed a follow-up from most of the players.

They did not like him, he understood from the media, so he would not like them either.

The opposite of Donis van Leven, the pair of strangers who have been said to no longer have a grip on the locker room, is Willy Rotensteiner.

If the last two foreign commanders of Maccabi Tel Aviv very quickly lost the sympathy of their soldiers, the Austrian is also alive thanks to the support of Eran Zehavi, Beavers Natcho, Nir Bitton, Eli Desa, Hatem Abdelhamid and many more on the team.

Instead of losing the locker room, Rotensteiner made sure to unify the team's locker room.

Staying or not?

The players trust him, enjoy him, are united under him, and that is not obvious.

The squatters and cynics have been jumping for a long time and asking how it is that the players determine who is incredible. So this is, no. Oren Hasson or the incoming general manager of the Football Association, Yossi Sharabi, do not call the players and ask who should be appointed for the next campaign, but things are heard. They are heard at press conferences, after-games, at airports. In fact, they do not like, but very much appreciate

. The actors, they say, know that when they talk to Rotensteiner in private or in a phone call with only the ears, things will stay between them and go nowhere.It is very important for the player to feel that he has someone he can trust.

Willy Rotensteiner is not the greatest tactician and he is also probably not the best game manager on the lines.

He does not coach "ars" in the good sense of the word.

But he probably has many other virtues that players like Zehavi, Natcho or Bitton, who have been outside Israel for many years, know how to appreciate.

Beyond the small progress to third place, the team is back to being interesting, and that's also thanks to him.

What is happening to Maccabi Tel Aviv in the sector of appointing the foreign coach, should light all the red lights in front of the football association. The richest club in Israeli football, the one that can appoint, fire and again appoint without blinking, has been stuck for several years with mediocre coaches who do not lead it to the clear goal and that is a championship.

Rotensteiner failed, unless a sporting miracle happened, to get us to second place, where we would probably lose in the World Cup playoffs against much better teams. Rotensteiner also did not improve the defensive game. In some games it may have been possible to react differently on the lines and be more successful. But Rotensteiner has succeeded in many other places. His team is more interesting, scores a lot of goals, is very united and has reached the ninth round in this house when it has another theoretical chance.

Tonight's game at Klagenfurt is not at Garbage Time.

Had it not been for Katomini in the 95th minute who ran to Dor Peretz in the corner kick at Hampden Park last month, there would have been a real chance and that in itself would have become an achievement, but it really is only an "if", and we ended up losing to Scotland with another mistake on defense. Who coached the team before him, to fix.

But not such a mistake should show him the way home.
