Bnei Eilat Pursues Top Candidates for Professional Director Role
Following the abrupt departure of Kobi Refua, Israeli fifth-tier club Bnei Eilat is actively seeking a new professional director. The club is reportedly in advanced negotiations with Ofer Fabian, a former Maccabi Haifa figure, who is considered the leading candidate to replace Refua. Another potential option being considered is Moti Ivanir.
Refua's tenure ended earlier than anticipated, despite signing a three-year contract valued at NIS 400,000 per season, which also included benefits such as a car, fuel card, and hotel accommodation. The club had invested significantly in assembling a strong squad for its promotion ambitions, bringing in notable players like Gidi Kanyuk, Gil Yitzhak, and Ofek Fishler, with the explicit goal of elevating Eilat to Israel's top football leagues.
