Israel's youth soccer team narrowly missed qualifying for the Euro 2027 playoffs after conceding a late goal against Norway. The team's elimination was confirmed following the Netherlands' victory in a parallel match. The question now arises about the future of coach Guy Luzon.
Luzon, who has coached the youth team since 2022 in his second tenure, previously led them to the semi-finals of Euro 2023. He had stated two weeks prior that he intended to move on after the campaign concluded, expressing optimism about reaching the playoffs for the third time in the nation's history. "When the campaign ends, I finish my journey, hoping it will be after three European championships and an Olympics," he had said.
Despite the disappointment, Luzon emphasized his focus on the two crucial upcoming matches, noting that the team had been preparing for them for over a year. He also expressed a desire to return to coaching a club team, stating he missed it and was very hungry for the challenge.
