The association is looking for a foreign coach, but does not rule out an Israeli option

Association chairman Oren Hasson will wait for Rotensteiner's report and then it will be decided what to do about his contract which expires in June, when there are currently no names of serious candidates.

Summary: Israel - Faroe Islands 2: 3 (Sport 1)

The Israeli team finished the World Cup qualifying campaign in third place, after beating the Faroe Islands 2: 3 last night (Monday), a game that locked up the campaign.

This was Willy Rotensteiner's last game as national team coach and now the association's chairman Oren Hasson will wait for the orderly final report, which Rotensteiner will submit to the association's heads and then it will also be decided what to do about his contract ending in June. Although there may be another possibility, that the Austrian will remain in the association until June but will not deal with the senior team, which currently seems to be the least desirable option on both sides.

The Football Association prefers to appoint a new foreign coach for the senior team, but there are also those who do not rule out returning to the Israeli coach option.

As of today it has not yet been decided on the identity of the coach and there are not even names of serious candidates for the position.

Last night's game with the Faroe Islands revealed most of the problems the Israeli team had during the last campaign.

The first thing the new coach will have to deal with, whoever it is, is the catastrophic defensive game that the team presented in blue and white during the campaign that ended.

The team conceded 21 mandatory goals, a disgraceful balance that must not be repeated, when last night the team also conceded a pair of goals at home from a very weak team.

Throughout the campaign, the Israeli defensive game was at a low level, with not a single stopper or defender who showed a high level throughout the team's ten games.

Silenced the crowd and received contemptuous cries.

Another issue that the heads of the association will have to deal with, in conjunction with the new coach, is the issue of striker Mons Dabour, who again last night received contempt from the Israeli crowd throughout the game. Dabour, who went down frustrated and angry when he was replaced in the second half, looked nervous and uneasy from the start of the game, when things reached a climax when some Israeli fans whistled at him before kicking the penalty kick in the 30th minute. He justifiably responded with a silence motion to the crowd immediately after conquering.

Later, contemptuous whistles were heard towards Dabour every time he touched the ball and even when he received a yellow card, parts of the crowd cheered and applauded the referee. The striker looked very upset when he went down to the locker room at the end of the game and it seems that the association will have to give their opinion on the matter. By the way, during the game one could see the lack of cooperation between the attacking triangle of players - Manor Solomon, Sean Weissman and Mons Dabour, when in many cases each of them preferred to do a selfish personal action, instead of handing over to his friend who is in a better position.

Dor Peretz, a Venice player from the Italian league, who scored the winning goal last night, tried to conclude when asked about his dominance in the last games of the campaign: "Can not explain, there is no special reason. Very glad it happened today, glad I helped the team win and bring result. Of course we did not want to concede, certainly not two goals, but we wanted to finish like this and I am very happy that this happened "

Peretz referred to the terrible balance of absorbing 21 goals and said:" No matter what my character, defense or offense, there is a whole team that needs to take responsibility, And the fact that we got 21 goals does not make sense. We all know it is an illogical number, we will have to improve it later. The defensive game does not just start with defensive players. "We want to move forward. If we want to be a leading team later on, we will have to give it some thought."

The midfielder was asked if he felt the team had missed an opportunity to reach at least the playoffs, from the Israel, Scotland and Austria triangle: We draw outside, so we would still be alive and things could have looked different. "
