The Israeli national football team drew 1-1 against Ireland in a tense match played in Bačka Topola, Serbia. Among the spectators was Zarko Lazetic, the former coach of Maccabi Tel Aviv. Despite the game being closed to the public, the Israeli team invited Lazetic, who had previously coached in Serbia, to watch the players, particularly those who had played under him.
Lazetic, who was recently dismissed from Al-Taawoun in Saudi Arabia and returned to Serbia, toured the Bačka Topola facilities with team officials before the game. After the match, he praised player Asaf Tzur, predicting a bright future for him. Lazetic also held separate conversations with players Roy Revivo, Dor Turgeman, and Dor Peretz, who had played for him previously, and spoke with Zuarz, expressing his desire to coach in Israel again in the future.
Bulgarian media had recently reported that the 44-year-old coach was being considered for the coaching position at CSKA Sofia, but this move did not materialize.
