Oral Degani did not warm up before entering the Jerusalem derby last night (Sunday) in a 0:1 situation with Beitar Jerusalem. The new coach, Gal Cohen, hastened to insert him in the place of the injured Timo Mozzi in the 87th minute. Omar Kursia warmed up throughout most of the half. the second and was surprised when Dagni was the one who entered.
Degani himself was also surprised, mainly by the fact that he entered the last minutes as a midfielder in Mozi's place and not in the defensive squad.
Later came the turnaround of Hapoel Jerusalem on the way to 2:1, and these were probably the last minutes of the season for Oral Degani in Beitar Jerusalem. Owner Barak Abramov will land in the capital the Bulgarian stopper of Maccabi Netanya, Flaman Glavov. In light of this, Degani will be asked to look for himself Another team, but it seems that behind the scenes the decision regarding him was made for several reasons.

First, it's how many games the 35-year-old linebacker/defender has lost his spot.
Degani was the captain of Beitar Jerusalem in several games this year, but even under the previous coach Yossi Abouxis, his status was devalued. Beyond that, Beitar Jerusalem knows that Degani lacks a number of appearances so that his contract will be automatically extended.
Degani is considered one of the top earners in Beitar and therefore, Barak Abramov prefers to see him find a team already in the current transfer window. "Dagnei is a proven stopper, Israeli and will be in demand" are convinced in Beitar, "there are still three days left until the end of the window and in another team a stopper in his position will be able to get More playing minutes."
At the moment, Degani will not get minutes in Beitar and it is doubtful if this is a decision made by the new coach, Gal Cohen.
Apart from Glabov, Barak Abramov will strengthen Beitar's squad with the 22-year-old Georgian midfielder Nika Khorkhali, who comes from the first league in his country. Khorkhali, who scored six goals in the Georgian league this season, was offered to several teams in the Premier League, including Hapoel Tel Aviv, but in the end thing, he is expected to land in the capital and sign a contract with Barak Abramov.
This is expected to end the strengthening in the current window, when Beitar is five points away from the place that leads to the top playoffs (the team was deducted 4 points at the court").
