THE STAR(S) OF ISRAEL
***
MANAGING MACCABI TEL-AVIV AND ISRAEL
Here I am with my new save. I abandoned my Newcastle save as I was too successful too early although still managed 5 seasons - this one is for the long haul. I wanted to do a save similar to my Red Star Belgrade save and had decided to go Steaua Bucharest but when updating the database and noticing that 2 teams merged that caused so much problems for me so I had to think again.
So I am off to Israel!!!!!
The reason is that I have never managed there and have little to know knowledge of the domestic situation there apart from some team names but even then it is a case of shoving the prefix Maccabi, Hapoel or Beitar in front of a place name! I take over Maccabi Tel-Aviv, the most successful club in Israeli football history and I take over the season after they just lost their league title to Maccabi Haifa.
I will be twinning managing the club by also managing the Israeli national side. They are ranked in the game 92nd in the world at the start behind Lebanon although they do have a Euro 2020 playoff semi to play against Norway.
Lots of work to be done!!!!!!!!!!!!

SAVE AIMS
For Maccabi Tel-Aviv it will be domestic domination and the ultimate aim will be to win the Champions League. Now I will go into this in the next post but you may or may not know that Israel isnt actually situated in Europe so to win Europe's biggest trophy would be amazing!!!
As for Israel it is much the same as the club side. Do well, hopefully qualify for tournaments and gradually build up towards competing for European Championships and World Cups.
Not going to be a 5-10 season save this!!!!!
