Tiberias FC Fires Coach Krispil; Players Boycott Training

Moti Krispil has been dismissed as the coach of Ironi Tiberias, the club announced Wednesday. Krispil informed the players of his departure just two months after becoming the team's permanent coach. Following the announcement, the players, reportedly in shock, decided not to attend the team's training session.

Sources within the club claim the decision to dismiss Krispil was made by the trustee, attorney Liza Hadash, and not by Aryeh Kalmanzon and his associates. This move is seen as a continuation of Hadash's prior decision not to approve the team's budget. Some senior club officials criticized the decision, stating, "It looks like a fire sale. Liza received an economic mandate for a viable and functional team, and suddenly she is making professional decisions and acting as if the team belongs to her." They also noted that Aryeh Kalmanzon's son, Oron, was not involved in the decision to part ways with Krispil.

In an official statement, the club stated that the decision was made by the management after reviewing the professional and administrative conduct, with the club's best interests and future in mind. The club thanked Krispil for his service and wished him success, adding that Ironi Tiberias will continue to strive for professional and administrative stability while focusing on the team's goals for the remainder of the season.
