Former Chelsea And West Ham Manager Avram Grant Accused Of Sexual Harassment By Multiple Women

Former Chelsea manager Avram Grant has been accused of sexual harassment by several women as part of an Israeli TV investigation.

Grant, who also had spells in charge of Portsmouth, West Ham and the Israeli national team, has been accused of attempting to use his position to coerce women into having sex.

One woman claimed she was invited to Grant's apartment in Tel Aviv in 2020 with an offer to help her find work, before he allegedly asked her to take off her clothes.

“He told me, ‘Make yourself comfortable, take off your clothes.’ I thought he was joking. I was sitting far away from him, on the edge of the couch,” said the women, who was 22 at the time of the alleged incident.

“He asked me to come closer and tried to hug me, really grabbed me and did not let go. I felt uncomfortable, he put his hand on my thigh, and I remember immediately moving his hand.

“After a few seconds of talking, he grabbed me by the neck, as if choking me, turned my head to him, and tried to kiss me by force.”

The women said she "didn't have the courage to say no to him" after he asked her to stay overnight, and she later “froze” in terror after Grant took her hand and placed it in his groin area.

After refusing to have sex, she claims to have woken up the next morning with Grant stood over her naked.

Another woman, described as a well-known Israeli model, said she flew to England to meet with Grant after he offered to help advance her career.

After meeting at a hotel, she said he took off his clothes and tried to convince her to have sex with him.

“I said no a million times, but he persisted and persisted… I felt that I had to, so he would let me go,” she said, adding that he did not use physical force.
