*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
Alon Hazan was raised in Ashdod, Israel, to an observant Masorti Jewish family.
Outside of football he studied for a degree in politics.
Hazan spent most of his playing career in Israel, but did spend 18 months with English club Watford, with whom he achieved two promotions – from Division Two to the English Premier League. In 1999 Hazan scored in the penalty-shootout semi-final play-off against Birmingham City to put Watford into the play-off final against Bolton Wanderers, which they won 2–0 at Wembley, to earn promotion to the Premier League. He turned home to Israel, for personal reasons, before he could play a part in the top tier of English football.
As a football player, Hazan capped 72 times and scored 5 goals for the senior Israel, between 1990 and 2000.[citation needed].
As of 8 May 2022, Hazan is the official national head coach who manages the senior Israel national team.
