Why foreign coaches keep failing in Israeli football

A new article argues that foreign coaches often arrive in Israeli football with high expectations and quickly get dismissed. The piece cites the case of José Mourinho, who has been appointed for a second spell as Real Madrid coach, alongside broader claims about why imported managers struggle to last in Israel.

The article says the pattern is repeated across the local game, where outsiders are brought in as saviors but are soon pushed out. It presents the issue as a recurring problem in Israeli football rather than the failure of one specific coach.

No specific timetable for the next coaching move is given, but the focus is on the structural reasons foreign managers do not endure in the Israeli league.
