The professional director of the Israel national team, Yossi Benyon, presented to the selection committee - the association's chairman Oren Hasson, the association's board member Eli Ohana and the coach Eli Cohen - the candidacy of Alon Hazan for the position of coach of the senior team.
The search committee discussed the issue and decided unanimously to bring Alon Hazan as the coach of the senior team for approval by the management of the Football Association.
The management meeting on the subject is expected to take place in the near future, after which a press conference will be held with the participation of Benyon, Hasson and Hazan.
Yossi Benyon: "Alon Hazan is not only one of the great players who has grown Israeli football, but also a coach who has come a long and impressive way in the Israeli national teams at various ages. Hazan knows the senior team well as a player and assistant coach, leads the young team. "Of Israel to be part of the senior team in the near and distant future. I also met and talked with foreign candidates and I have no doubt that Hazan is the most worthy and appropriate coach of all."
Oren Hasson: "Benyon's recommendation of Alon Hazan was unanimously accepted by the search committee out of a long and deep acquaintance of all its members with Alon's qualities, being a key factor over the years in the Israeli national team, as a player and coach and his professional perception. He has done a track that included coaching all of Israel's national teams of all ages, knows our football best of all, is committed to every success of Israeli football and has great faith in his ability to bring the senior team to the highest goals.
We shared in the process the technical director of the young teams Yaila Hoss, who gave his blessing to the move and thought like us that he was right.
This will of course require us to appoint a new coach for the young team after the management's approval for Hazan's appointment, in the belief that he will continue the success and lead the young team to participate in Euro 2023. "
Alon Hazan: "I will wait for the approval of the management of the association to appoint me as the coach of the senior team, but I would already like to thank the professional director Yossi Benyon and the members of the search committee. "Enriches, improves, and there is no doubt that leading the senior Israeli team is the pinnacle of the aspirations of everyone who chooses the position of coach."
