A big mess at Hapoel Haifa after the 1: 1 home draw against Beitar Jerusalem.
Coach Elisha Levy was asked about his status at the club and answered directly: "I'm not paranoid and know what's going on around me. There is incitement against me and unfortunately it permeates the audience as well. My job is to neutralize the background noise and not let it affect the players."
A few minutes after Elisha Levy's remarks, Hapoel Haifa's sponsor Tzachi Nakash from Almog Post posted on social media and conveyed his own message: "Elisha, listen well, I'm not behind the scenes, but before the scenes. You are a huge failure."
Nakash also wrote: "Lower playoff with 100 spectators, the worst ever at Hapoel Haifa. You did not promote one player from the youth, you did not share young people for fear."
The sponsor added: "A coach who was on the team should be an inspiration to children and youth, you did not come to one training or game, neither of the youth nor of one of the teams."
In conclusion, he wrote: "The car takes off for an hour and a quarter, up to a minute and a half no later in the direction of the center. Respect is not bought with words, and the thick hint is broadcast live to me. I at least tell the truth together, there are others who shake your hand and speak differently.
Owner Yoav Katz heard the words live and in the coming days will make a decision on how to proceed.
On the one hand, Nakash's involvement puts a lot of money into the club's coffers, but the media confrontation with Elisha Levy, together with the pressure to make a change in the professional team, will lead to a decision by Katz during the team break.
