The Israel Football Association has accused Republic of Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrimsson of “ignorance, hypocrisy and stupidity” in response to comments he made last week.
The football association’s criticism was directed at Hallgrimsson, who manages the Republic of Ireland national team. The supplied material does not specify the subject or wording of the comments that prompted the response.
No further details of the Israel FA’s statement, or any response from Hallgrimsson or the Football Association of Ireland, are provided. The latest known position is that the dispute centres on remarks made by the Ireland manager the previous week and the subsequent condemnation from Israel’s football governing body.
