Four paragraphs on the club website, none of them about football. The board thanked him, wished him well, and had the search under way before the page went up.

Tempers go at Hapoel Haifa
Emiliano Goñi was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
