Eli Cohen (born 6 April 1961) is an Israeli football manager and former player.
While at Maccabi Haifa, Cohen won two championships during the 1980s.
In 2003 Cohen won the Israel State Cup as manager of Hapoel Ramat Gan.
At the beginning of 2004, Cohen was sacked from Hapoel Ramat Gan following a dispute with the team chairman. Cohen moved to coach Hapoel Tzafririm Holon, which he played in the past. During his time the team went down to Liga Alef, but eventually stayed in Liga Leumit due to Maccabi Kiryat Gat heavy debts. In 2005 Holon relegated back to Liga Alef.
At the beginning of 2006, Cohen was called to manage Hapoel Ra'anana, which was in last place in Liga Leumit. At the end of the season he managed to remain in the league, and in 2009, Cohen was able to promote the team to the Israeli Premier League for the team first time. In March 2010, Cohen was sacked from Hapoel Ra'anana after four years at the club, after the team struggled in the relegation places.
During the Summer of 2010, he was signed in Hapoel Acre, and helped to team avoid relegation.
