Boardroom

Hapoel Raanana spell it out for Interim Coach

The board’s statement ran to three sentences and one of them mentioned results. Interim Coach has managed long enough to translate: win soon, or the next statement is shorter.

Market

Daniel Darzi puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Hapoel Raanana, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Yuval Titelman signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Yuval Titelman and Hapoel Raanana agree another 2 years.

Squad

A falling-out at Hapoel Raanana

Denny Gropper and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Omer Senior falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout

Isaac Oppong has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Hapoel Raanana will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Market

No place for Dan Galmor in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Dan Galmor has his answer from Hapoel Raanana; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

The dugout

The manager's exit leaves Rustam Abdullaev exposed

Every squad has men who were signed by a particular manager and men who were merely inherited. Rustam Abdullaev is in the first group, and the man who wanted him here is no longer in the building.

Squad

Denny Gropper can feel the drop

The table is being checked before the results are in, which is always the tell. Nobody at Hapoel Raanana says the word and every senior player in the building is thinking it.

The terraces

Supporters organise against the Hapoel Raanana board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Market

Daniel Darzi asks to leave Hapoel Raanana

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Words exchanged at Hapoel Raanana

Denny Gropper and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Words at Hapoel Raanana training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Omer Senior is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

Hapoel Raanana come up short against Maccabi Petach Tikva

Maccabi Petach Tikva left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout

Desmond Obeng gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Dan Galmor signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Dan Galmor commits to Hapoel Raanana for another 4 years.

The dugout

Interim Coach faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Interim Coach after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Omer Senior

Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Boardroom

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Hapoel Raanana

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Squad

Avi Cohen stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Avi Cohen and Hapoel Raanana agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Denny Gropper in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Hapoel Raanana this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Dan Galmor is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Itay Senyor

Hapoel Raanana asked and Hapoel Haifa said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

Omer Senior falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Itai Zafrani is in the works

Hapoel Raanana have made the call to Maccabi Tel Aviv. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Transfer targets

Hapoel Raanana try to borrow Dor Hemed

Maccabi Haifa have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

The dugout

Avi Cohen knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Hapoel Raanana, and both men came out saying it was fine.
