Former Dutchman Raymond Atwald, coach of Maccabi Netanya, and several other national teams such as Betar Tel Aviv Bat Yam and Rishon LeZion, as well as the youth department of Maccabi Tel Aviv, announced today (Thursday) that after six years he will not continue working in Israel.
The last team he coached in Israel is Hapoel Rishon LeZion, from which he was fired after a month.
In a statement issued by the coach, he wrote: "After 6 fascinating years (my longest time abroad in one country!), In which the Corona turned the world and the world of football - it was time for me and my family to say goodbye."
"The connection that both my family and I built here is strong, significant, and due to the birth of our son here, this connection will always exist. Our children studied here at school and lived in 3 different cities, each with its own unique way of life. We knew Israel. "
