Former England manager was holding talks with the Israeli side, but he declined the job for personal reasons.

Maccabi's manager Jordi Cruyff wanted McClaren by his side as assistant coach, but former the England boss turned down the offer.

Cruyff and McClaren have known each other for a long time after they both worked together at Manchester United, Cruyff as a player and the Englishman as an assistant manager.

Since March, McClaren has been without work, after coaching Championship side Derby Country, and his decision not to head to Israel is due to personal reasons.
