Nimrod Kostika Emerges as Leading Candidate for Bnei Eilat Head Coach

Nimrod Kostika is the top candidate for the head coach position at Bnei Eilat, according to Kobi Refua, the club's professional manager. Kostika, a highly respected coach, previously led Hapoel Hadera in the Israeli Premier League. Negotiations are ongoing, with some personal issues still unresolved, including the possibility that Kostika would need to relocate to Eilat during the week.

Kostika has a strong working relationship with Refua, having served as his assistant at several clubs including Hapoel Kiryat Shmona, Hapoel Tel Aviv, and Maccabi Petah Tikva. This connection strengthens his candidacy for the role. Following a series of signings such as Gidi Keniuk and Ofek Fischler, several coaches have approached Refua offering their services for the promising new project in Eilat.

The final decision rests with Kobi Refua, who is evaluating all options for the prestigious project in Liga Bet. The club and its management are focused on building a competitive team for the upcoming season.
