Betar Jerusalem coach Yossi Mizrahi met today (Wednesday) with the club's chairman, Eli Ohana, and asked to end his position as coach of the senior team.
Ohana complied with his request, and now Mizrahi will return to his position as the professional director of the youth departments.
Mizrahi said after the announcement: "A month and a half ago, I was called, and not for the first time, to help rescue the team from the situation it found itself in.
I made every effort to achieve this goal, and unfortunately the rabbi did not succeed to the extent I had hoped.
In light of heavy pressure from my wife and close friends, I decided to ask my friend Eli Ohana to release me from the position.
I very much hope that things will work out for the best, and that this luxury club, which is homely, will survive and return to its great days soon. "
The former Betar goalkeeper added: "I will continue to serve the club in the youth departments, and I will help with anything I need.
Thank you to Betar fans, who, despite the disappointments, accompany us through these difficult moments.
Finally, in a personal tone, I want to strengthen my friend Eli Ohana, who works around the clock in impossible conditions to save the club.
Take care of yourself to me. '
The club's chairman, Eli Ohana, said: "I thank Yossi Mizrahi from the bottom of my heart for the recent period.
As always, when he was called on a mission for Betar he did not hesitate, and helped us in a very difficult time professionally and financially.
I thank him on a personal level for always being there for me and for the club.
Thank you for joining us and hope that we will achieve our goals both in the adult group and in the youth department, which he loves and to which he returns. "
The team's assistant coach, Gal Cohen, will stand on the lines in the upcoming game against Hapoel Haifa
