Despite recent failures by the Israeli national football teams, the Israel Football Association has extended the contract of professional advisor Willi Ruttensteiner until at least the end of the calendar year. The senior national team secured only two points out of a possible twelve in their UEFA Nations League campaign, while the youth team failed to qualify for the European Championship. Ruttensteiner, an Austrian, stated in response, "I continue to advise and help promote Israeli football." He attended the Nations League match in Linz, where he met with the Chairman, Shino Zuarz, and his deputy, Adv. Moran Meiri. Some members of the Association's management board intend to inquire about the financial and professional scope of his advisory role during an upcoming meeting. Previously, reports indicated that Ruttensteiner's consultancy fees ranged between 3,000 and 5,000 euros per month. An Association official clarified that Ruttensteiner's work focuses on training and future strategic planning rather than solely on the professional aspects of the national teams.
