S3..xual harassment: Avram Grant tenders apology

Avram Grant has tendered a public apology after he was accused of s3..xual harassment.

Grant tendered the apology after The Times of Isreal reported that multiple women said the ex-Chelsea coach tried to use his influence, force to get s3..xual favors from young women starting out in their careers.

However, Grant in response did not deny the accusations.

He said that any harm he had caused was unintentional.

“In my life, both in a personal and professional capacity, I have always sought, above and beyond any successes or achievements, to prioritize staying a human being and to respect every woman or man, whoever they may be,” he said.

“I am a people person, a man of friendships. And over the years I have maintained relationships with women. In all these relationships I have tried very hard to treat them with respect and friendship and I never intended to behave unfairly or in any way harm any woman. Anyone who has felt uncomfortable or hurt by me, I regret it and apologize from the bottom of my heart.”

 

Grant, a well-known soccer coach in Israel, shot to international prominence in 2007 when he was appointed manager of the Premier League soccer team Chelsea, by owner Russian-Jewish billionaire Roman Abramovich, leading them to the Champions League final.

He also coached West Ham and Portsmouth in the Premier League and has also had stints as coach of the Israel and Ghana national teams, in a career that has taken him to multiple countries.
