Meir Cohen has concluded his tenure as coach of Bnei Eilat, a team in Israel's Liga Bet, after only three rounds. The departure follows a significant 6-0 loss to Shikun Hamizrah, though the team had secured a 2-0 victory in another recent match. The decision was made during an emergency meeting attended by owners Dudu and Natali Vaturi, and professional manager Ofer Fabian.
Cohen's exit marks another disruption for the club, described as a "dream team" that is reportedly "beginning to fall apart." This follows the recent replacement of professional manager Kobi Refua by Ofer Fabian. Despite the team's overall strong start with three wins in the first four rounds, the heavy 6-0 defeat appears to have been a decisive factor.
Following Cohen's departure, the club is considering several candidates to replace him. The potential successors, listed in order of preference, include Shachar Weizinger, Nimrod Kostika, Sharon Hitman, and Dor Levy. Bnei Eilat currently sits in fifth place in the league standings.
