JERUSALEM - Austrian Andreas Herzog is set to be appointed Israel coach, the Israeli FA said on Wednesday.
Vienna-born Herzog began his coaching career in 2005 as Austria's caretaker coach before taking up the assistant's role. He was also assistant to United States national team coach Juergen Klinsmann and coached Austria's under-21s and the US's under-23s.
"Today, an agreement was reached in principle between the parties and at the forthcoming IFA management committee meeting Herzog's appointment will be put to a vote," an Israeli FA statement said.
Over an 18-year playing career that began in 1986, Herzog, an attacking midfielder, earned a record 103 caps for Austria and scored 26 goals. He played for Bayern Munich, Rapid Vienna and Werder Bremen, where he had most success.
He ended his playing career with LA Galaxy in 2004 before starting his coaching career.
