Hapoel Acre is set to appoint Nimrod Kostika as its new head coach following a dismal start to the season. The team suffered a significant 4-0 loss to Hapoel Kfar Shalem on Monday, leaving them at the bottom of the National League standings. Kostika has reached a preliminary agreement with the club, and a formal contract signing is expected on Tuesday morning. This move comes as the club seeks to revitalize its performance after a winless streak.

Kostika was reportedly chosen over other candidates, including Assi Alimalech and Nir Berkovich. The club hopes his appointment will usher in a new era after a difficult opening to the season. Hapoel Acre has accumulated only one point from 10 matches, failing to score a single goal while conceding 27.

In related personnel changes, Lior De Kalbo, who was coaching the senior team, will return to manage the youth squad. He is the second coach to depart the senior position this season, following Adham Hadiya's resignation after just two rounds.
