A big explosion between Yossi Benyon and Shino Zoertz following the decision of the chairman of the association not to extend Benyon's term as the professional manager of the Israel national team. Benyon expected to receive another term and he also stands by it according to his associates, Zzoertz already promised this about two weeks ago in a conversation between them, and made it clear to him that he will continue for another two years in the position.
An associate of Bannion said in a conversation with Walla! Sport: "Shino told Yossi that he will continue.
They even shook hands about it, but then everything turned upside down when the team lost to Iceland.
Yossi is very hurt."
The meeting between the two last night (Tuesday) at Zoertz's house was very charged, and Nion revealed to Zoertz everything that was on his heart. He is convinced that he did not receive the respect he deserved.
But from Zoertz's side there is another version. In Zoertz's environment They told Walla! Sport: "Shino was on the back foot in front of the entire football association that wanted to end the contract with Banyon and Hazan after the end of the Euro qualifying campaign in November.
People told Shino, 'After we didn't get past Romania and Kosovo, we should give the Euro playoffs to someone else.'
Shino was in the minority and kept Yossi and Alon.
He went with them because that's what he believed in."
leaving with a door slam.

The same source close to Zoertz adds: "It is true that Shino intended and thought that Yossi should be allowed to continue for another term, but that was not promised to him. This is a lie. The intention was good, but the road and the defeat on Thursday spoiled the cards. Shino could not continue with a professional manager after Two competitions that ended in failure - both the Euro Qualifiers and the Euro Playoffs. Both ended with disappointment and from a public point of view, Shino could not let him continue."
In Zoertz's environment, it is added that he decided that there was no place for the position of a professional manager, so he did not prefer another professional over Benyon.
At the end of the tense conversation between the two, Banyon hurried to leave as he was not ready to refer himself to the official announcement of the football association that was published hours later.
