Ehud Ben-Tovim (Hebrew: אהוד בן טובים) is a former Israeli international footballer and widely regarded as the greatest talent that Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv F.C. has ever produced.[1] After a long period of distrust and angst between Bnei Yehuda and Ben-Tovim,[1] he was appointed manager of the youth team in 2006.[2]
Biography
Attempted move to Beitar Jerusalem
After the 1978–79 season, Ehud Ben-Tovim requested a raise from his boyhood club,
burning tires and stopping all public transportation. Riot police dispersed the crowd who renewed the protests the following day. Eventually, Ben-Tovim returned to Bnei Yehuda and Beitar received their money back.[3]
