Is Yossi Benyon on his way to a career as a coach in the Premier League? The sports channel has learned that in recent days, two owners of teams in the Premier League have approached the former captain of the Israeli national team and the record holder in national uniforms of all time. Benyon politely declined, but it is not inconceivable that in the summer he will make a decision to start his career as a coach.
In those conversations with the team owners, Benyon honestly said that he wanted to be the technical director of the Israeli national team, but the chairman of the Football Association, Oren Hasson, and Willy Rotensteiner did not broadcast with him on the same wave, probably in terms of involvement in the senior team now or in the future.
Until the end of August 2020, Benyon served as the professional manager of Betar Jerusalem and Roni Levy Potter also announced the departure of Moshe Hogg’s team. Before retiring, Benyon played for Hapoel B’Shlosha, Maccabi Haifa, Maccabi Tel Aviv, Maccabi Petah Tikva and Betar Jerusalem in the Premier League.
On another issue: this week, it will be decided who will coach Israel’s youth teams, even before eight technical directors become foreign. Alon Hazan is expected to be appointed coach of the young team, Gadi Bromer will coach the youth team and Ofir Haim the youth team. The three coaches will not only coach the teams, but will also be responsible for the various academies and districts that will be divided into North, Central, South and South.
