Israel Looks Forward to 1982 World Cup
Qualifying Matches With New Manager
- By SIMON GRIVER
(World Zionist Organization)
While for international
sports-fans 1980 is an
Olympic year, for soccer
fans it is also the time when
the qualifying matches for
the 1982 World Cup finals
get under way.
Israel will battle 160
other nations for 20 final
1 ces in the Spanish sun-
. Spain as hosts, and
Az entina as reigning
champions, qualify auto-
matically. For the first time
22 teams, rather than the
traditional 18, will compete
in the final series of
matches.
Israel's chances of reach-
ing Spain are slim because
they have been removed
from the Asian group in
which they normally play,
and have instead been
drawn into a tough Euro-
pean group with Scotland,
Portugal, Northern Ireland
and Sweden.
All the same, Israeli
soccer fans are looking
forward with relish to the
eight games (four home,
four away) against top
European opposition.
Jack Mansell, the new coach of Israel's national
soccer team, talks to players.
The Israeli Football
Association dismissed
coach Manny Shaeffer in
December, following the
national team's disap-
pointing early exit from
the Olympic Soccer
competition, and brought
in Englishman Jack
Mansell.
He has signed a six month
contract that covers the
team's first two matches,
which are at home to North-
ern Ireland and Sweden.
The stocky frame of this
effervescent and energetic
56-year-old native of Man-
chester encompasses a
wealth of soccer knowledge
and know-how. In the 1940s
and 50s he played 'outside
left for Brighton, Cardiff
and Portsmouth and he re-
presented England on sev-
eral occasions.
After retiring as a player,
he coached Rotherham and
Sheffield Wednesday. Since
1961 he has worked outside
England — in Holland,
Turkey, Greece and most
recently as coach of the
Bahrain national team.

ball Association asked
former England boss Sir
Walter Winterbottom to
recommend a capable
coach, Mansell's name
was mentioned as the
man with the shrewd
soccer insight that Israel
needs. Mansell was in-
vited to Tel Aviv in No-
vember and terms were
agreed.
"The prospect of coming
to a country as interesting
as Israel certainly stimu-
lated our (Mansell and his
wife) exploratory instincts.
Over the years we have be-
come something of experts
on churches and mosques;
after visiting Jerusalem we
have become connoisseurs
and are also catching up on
synagogues," the coach
said.
"But first and foremost
I'm here for the soccer. The
players lack organization
and experience, even
though they have natural
skill and technique. The
potential is there. I've
gathered together a squad
of 22 and with hard work
and determination six or
seven of these lads could be
good enough to play in the
English league."
The English champions,
Liverpool, have agreed to
release Avi Cohen for the
coming matches. Mean-
while Cohen's former club,
Maccabi Tel Aviv, recently
signed up English Jewish
star Barry Silkman from
Manchester City for
$100,000. Silkman has
made aliya and should be
able to represent \Israel.
"Ultimately I will be
judged on how well the
team does in its matches.
Personally I judge myself
by the standards of a
teacher. I know how good
the players were when I
started training them and
if they are a lot better
when I finish, then win or
lose, succeed or fail, I am
satisfied.

ligations from 14 federal

"During January we
played a practice match
with the German club
Borussia Monchenglad-
bach. Although we lost 2-0, I
was encouraged to see that
the players had learned
many of the lessons that I'd
taught them."
Israel has reached the
World Cup finals only once.
That was in Mexico in 1970
and they performed re-
markably well, drawing 1-1
with Sweden before losing
1-0 to Italy.
"I'd be a fool to be over-
confident," admits Mansell.
"What clince do we stand
when Northern Ireland
runs onto the field at Tel
Aviv's Bloomfield Stadium
with George Best, Pat Jen-
nings, and a galaxy of stars?
In theory we've no hope —
but in soccer anything can
happen."
