Israel coach Andreas Herzog is now out of self-isolation and hired a private jet in a bid to escape even more coronavirus chaos.
The Israeli national coach had been in quarantine since he flew out to Israel to begin preparations for their Nations League play-off with Scotland – which was due to be played March 26 but has now been pushed back until June by UEFA because of the growing world pandemic.
After the Hampden semi-final clash was postponed on Tuesday the 51-year-old had to get special permission from the Israeli government to come out early of his 14 day quarantine.
Herzog was tested and showed no signs of the coronavirus and was then allowed to fly back and he chartered a private Lear jet to get him back to his home in Austria.
Herzog said: "I just want to say that I paid for it myself. For me, in this situation the money was irrelevant.
“I just wanted to go home as soon as possible.
“I didn't want to fly over the line somehow because I was in quarantine for two weeks now and didn't want to bother with hundreds of people at the airport and maybe myself infect there.”
