The football governing body FIFA announced on Monday that it has lifted the suspension of Israel coach Luis Fernandez.
The Spanish-born former French international was banned by FIFA last month because he had not obeyed a November 2009 disciplinary committee ruling regarding a long-standing debt he owed to a club in Qatar.
The debt has now been settled, and FIFA said Fernandez has been given the go-ahead to coach the team for the 2012 European Championship qualifiers against Latvia and Georgia at the end of March.
"I arranged things with FIFA so that I can be with my team," Fernandez said. "Now everyone has to have one aim, to get six points from the upcoming two games against Latvia and Georgia."
The 51-year-old took the Israel job last March.
