Israeli football club Bnei Sakhnin announced Tuesday that it has reached a settlement with its former coach, Sharon Mimer, ending legal proceedings between them. Mimer will receive a compensation payment of approximately 135,000 shekels (about $36,000 USD) and will drop his lawsuit against the club.
The club stated that the agreement was reached "out of great mutual respect" and aims to preserve the positive relationship between Mimer and Bnei Sakhnin.
The dispute began in February when masked individuals, identified as club fans, allegedly threatened players during a training session. This incident led the players to barricade themselves in the locker room until police arrived. Following this event, Mimer resigned and subsequently filed a lawsuit seeking 920,000 shekels (about $245,000 USD) in compensation.
The settlement concludes a six-month saga. The club also mentioned a recent visit to the neighboring community of Hanaton, thanking local leaders for their hospitality and highlighting the club's commitment to social outreach and fostering mutual respect within society.
