"During the Corona period, football was suspended in the country and I had thoughts about continuing my career," says Turgeman, who played for Betar Ramla in the second division this season.
I knew football was temporary anyway and it did not interest me to continue training or anything like that.
I decided to open my head a bit and try to get into the high tech field because it is something that has always attracted me and always intrigued me.
When I played football and was committed to teams, under contract, it was problematic to go and study because I also did not have the time and the clean head for it.
And when I found myself at home for long days, I began to research the field a bit and enrolled in studies at SV-COLLEGE in the streets.
I recently graduated, have successfully passed all the exams and now I am looking to enter the field.
It's not simple because in the last two years, especially during the Corona period, people have been looking for themselves anew and have made professional conversions and many have gone in the high-tech direction,
The veteran defender referred to the attempts to integrate in the high-tech field and said: "Software testing is an area that gives you an initial foothold in the high-tech industry. "I have to make it clear that this is not really a retirement interview, I can still go back and play football, even in the national league, we'll see what happens."
To conclude, Turgeman added: "I was debating whether to upload this post on Facebook at first because at first it embarrassed me a bit. I knew it would make some echo and lead to reactions. I really prefer to worry about my future now. Everyone tells me well on the switch in my head and I really hope Find my next job now. "
