Bnei Eilat Sacks Coach Meir Cohen After Humiliating Defeat
The Israeli football club Bnei Eilat is undergoing significant upheaval following a devastating 6-0 loss to Shikun Hamizrah in Liga Bet. In the wake of this embarrassing defeat, the team, described as a "dream team," is beginning to shed its assets.
Following the recent replacement of professional manager Kobi Refua with Ofer Fabian, head coach Meir Cohen has been summoned for a hearing and is expected to be dismissed. This decision came after an emergency meeting involving owners Dudu and Natalie Vaturi, and professional manager Fabian.
During the meeting, several candidates were discussed as potential replacements for Cohen. The list of potential new coaches, in order of consideration, includes Shahar Weizinger, Nimrod Kostiha, Sharon Hitman, and Dor Levi.
In addition to the coaching changes, new signing Ofek Fishler has been informed that he should seek a new team. However, the club has decided to give striker Gil Yitzhak another chance, despite some calls for his release from the squad.
