Maurice Ozen Dismissed From Ironi Tiberias Due to Budget Cuts

Maurice Ozen, who served as the youth department manager at Ironi Tiberias for the past four years, was unexpectedly dismissed from his position. Ozen, recognized for leading the youth division to notable successes and recently contributing to the senior team's coaching staff, was informed that his departure was due to severe budget cuts at the club. This decision surprised many, as Ozen is a well-known figure associated with the club. He notably remains the only coach to have promoted a team from Liga Alef to the National League through playoff victories, having defeated Hapoel Katamon. Despite his excellent work with the youth department, financial constraints forced the club to make this difficult choice, reflecting the challenging situation the club currently faces.
