Hapoel Ironi Tiberias, a soccer club, announced on Wednesday the dismissal of Moti Krispel from the senior team's professional staff. The decision comes amid a period of significant off-field turmoil for the club.
The club's management stated that the decision was made after reviewing professional and managerial conduct, prioritizing the club's best interests and future. They thanked Krispel for his contributions and wished him success. Ironi Tiberias affirmed its commitment to maintaining professional and managerial stability to achieve its goals for the remainder of the season. The club did not disclose the specific reasons for Krispel's dismissal or name a replacement.
Krispel's departure follows several turbulent months for the club. Tiberias was penalized 14 points over two seasons due to a double-contract scandal, with eight points deducted last season and six this season. Subsequently, a player registration scandal led to lengthy suspensions for key players and coach Eliran Hodda.
Further instability arose from a dispute between Aryeh Kalmanzon and Miki Beitan over club control and bank account signing authority. This led to the freezing of the club's accounts and the appointment of an external trustee with management and signing powers.
Most recently, the "Mirror Image" affair saw current and former club officials arrested. This investigation concerns alleged financial offenses spanning four seasons and amounting to tens of millions of shekels.
