Eyal Berkovic, also spelled Berkovich, born 2 April 1972 in Regba, Israel is a former Israeli footballer. He played as a midfielder. Although not a frequent scorer, he has been known to score crucial goals, some of which have been quite spectacular. Hailed by many for his intelligence and ability to avoid tackles and fouls from defenders, he is considered to be one of Israel's best football players. Because of his amazing assists, he is known in Israel by the nickname Ha-Kossem (lit. "The Magician"). Aside from his footballing talent, Berkovic is also known for his temperament. He has had several clashes with team-mates, most notably the Israeli footballers Reuven Atar and Eli Ohana, Kevin Keegan, and Welsh striker John Hartson. His autobiography Ha-Kosem sparked controversy with the Israeli football scene because of the sharp and straight criticism of many of its figures. He is the older brother of footballer Nir Berkovic.
