Roni Levy (Shahar Gross)
His career has known ups and downs, but there is no doubt that Roni Levy is one of the best and most thorough coaches in Israel. Now, he has come to speak openly in ONE’s new podcast “Talk of the Day,” with Gidi Lipkin and Asi Maman.
You can also listen to the episode through the Spotify app and the Apple podcasts app.
The success at the beginning of his career and the titles he won compared to the last few years which were less successful (“It was difficult to win the first championship at Maccabi Haifa”), the Israeli football coaches’ market (“It’s strange for me not to open the season”) and the last season at Hapoel Beer Sheva “The team will become attractive. I was with a very offensive team, but it takes time. We also played tactically but the crowd was influenced by reviews and did not understand the situation of the team. I believe I could win the championship in light of the results Maccabi Haifa did”).
In addition, the coach commented on the collapse of Betar Jerusalem: “Yossi Benyon brought me to the team, but over time I realized that the owner wanted me less. He thought the team could take a championship a year after competing against relegation, but I thought third place and winning the Toto Cup after so many changes made to the squad is great because there are no shortcuts in football. Everything was disconnected from reality and it did damage. I hope the team does not go down in the league, God forbid. This is an expensive and important club for Israeli football. Unfortunately I was not surprised by the complications of Moshe Hogg, why? Because I felt there was a gap between what was happening in reality and what was being said. Yossi Benyon was honest, pure and professional, and the choice of him as the professional manager of the team is perfect. “
Roni Levy talked about going to Europe and why he did not win the championship there (“He who understands knows why it did not happen and I will not add to it”), his tough image compared to reality (“Yes, I am strict, thorough and serious, but why is it a problem? Why it matters To a defect? ”). Levy also reveals during the conversation with him about the offer he received from a team in the Premier League to serve as a professional manager, where he enjoys the artist the most, his new life as a grandfather to her granddaughter, the Twitter account he opened and the thoughts to start interpreting games.
