Hapoel Acre's struggles in the National League have led to a coaching change, with Lior De Kalbo returning to manage the youth team after the senior squad's recent 4-0 loss to Hapoel Kfar Shalem. This marks the second coach to depart the senior team this season, following Adham Hadiya's resignation after only two rounds. The club currently sits last in the league with one point from ten games, having yet to score a goal and conceding 27. The club is actively searching for a new head coach, with Nimrod Kosticca reportedly being the leading candidate. Initial interest in Shimon Gershon was met with disinterest due to his personal commitments. Moti Ivener was also considered but is unavailable for similar reasons. Another option being evaluated is Assi Alimalech, though there are internal disagreements within the club's management regarding his potential appointment. Nir Berkovich, who has not coached since leaving Hapoel Ra'anana a year ago, is also a name being discussed. As of now, Kosticca remains the primary choice for the coaching position.
