Adler, who managed 107 games in the league, moved to the yellow side of the city in 1991 when he served as Zvika Sharaf's assistant coach at Maccabi Tel Aviv.
The two have won two championships together.
In the 1993 season he was appointed head coach of the Yellows, but was replaced later that season by Eli Kenti.
Adler ended his coaching career on the lines of Hapoel Givatayim in the 1993/94 season.
Of blessed memory.
