AVRAM
GRANT
Avram Grant was originally appointed as director of football in July 2007 after he joined us from Portsmouth where he had held the same role. At the age of 52, Avram then became first team coach when José Mourinho left in September 2007. Steve Clarke remained as his assistant.
It was at Maccabi Haifa that Avram experienced his greatest successes in club soccer to date, leading the club to two league championships in two years, as well as the 2002 Toto Cup, consolation for defeat in the national cup final the same year which denied Avram his treble.
At the age of 46, Avram was the youngest man ever to manage Israel's national team and went on to become the country's most successful manager of all time with an overall record of 14 wins, 13 draws and 6 loses during his 33 games in charge.
In 2006 Avram announced he would not be renewing his contract with Israel and was soon appointed into his position alongside Harry Redknapp at Portsmouth where he made until the call came to move to Stamford Bridge.
