Nir Berkovich (Lilach Weiss-Rosenberg)
Shock in the Ness Ziona section: Nir Berkovich announced today (Wednesday) at noon about his resignation and will coach Kiryat Shmona. The coach conveyed his decision to resign to the CEO of the team that is in second to last place in the Premier League, Roi Ankva. The latter said in response: “I am very disappointed in him after the training I gave him.” , will continue for another season.
Benes Ziona were sure that Berkovic’s resignation is not only due to the situation in the table and indeed he will move on to coach KS. Benes Ziona responded: “We wish Nir success in the future. At this time, efforts are being made to bring in the most suitable coach in order to meet the goals of the club.” It should be noted that the players of the Ness Ziona section were left shocked, when the coach even managed to conduct his last training session with the team this morning. Berkovich did not talk to the players or provide any hint about his departure and behaved as usual .
It should be noted that despite the precarious situation of Sektia Nes Ziona in the Premier League table, it has not lost in its last six games in all formats. In the last round, it lost 3:3 to Kiryat Shmona and Menachem Koretsky, who will be replaced by Berkovich.
As I recall, Koretsky himself resigned from KS yesterday after a streak of 13 consecutive games without a win. By doing so, Berkovic actually drops one place in the table because the northern team locks up the Premier League with only 10 points at the end of 14 rounds.
