Despite recent failures by the Israeli national football teams, the Israeli Football Association has extended its contract with Austrian advisor Willi Ruttensteiner. Ruttensteiner will continue to serve as a professional advisor to senior officials in the sport until the end of the calendar year. This decision comes despite the senior national team securing only two points out of a possible twelve in the UEFA Nations League campaign and the youth team failing to qualify for the European Championship. Ruttensteiner stated, "I continue to advise and help promote Israeli football." He was present at the national team's UEFA Nations League match in Linz, where he met with Shino Zuarz and his deputy, Moran Meiri. Some members of the Football Association's management are expected to inquire about the financial and professional scope of his advisory role during an upcoming meeting. Previously, Ruttensteiner's consulting fees were reported to be between 3,000 and 5,000 euros per month. An association official clarified that his work focuses on training and future strategic planning rather than solely on the professional aspects of the national teams.
