Benayoun has worked as director of the National Selection of Israel since his retirement, but recently left this role and seems interested in an opportunity in England.
“Of course, I would be interested in a role of sports director in England, but I am also a professional license coach. Let’s see what appears,” said the 44 -year -old Football Insider.
Berta is certainly more proven than Benayoun, so it may not be strange that he is now emerging as the favorite to replace Edu.
However, Edu had a connection with Arsenal after spending some of his game days there, and this can be an important factor for this role.
Each club has a unique culture and history, and it is widely considered that Edu did a great job restoring the club to be more like what he used to be, even with great trophies.
Benayoun spent only a year in Arsenal, but it may not be surprising that at least they considered it an option, even if it is not the outstanding candidate.
