Tel Aviv also won the Toto Cup, which is the Israeli version of England's League Cup.
On the European front, a strong Europa Conference League campaign came under Keane too. Tel Aviv topped their group but ultimately lost to champion Olympiacos in the round of 16.
Keane told the club's official website: "It has been a tough decision for me to leave Maccabi Tel Aviv FC. I would like to thank the owner, all the players, coaches, and fans for making this an unforgettable season.
"I am very proud of everything we have achieved together as a team and most proud of the hard work and dedication that resulted in winning the championship and the Toto Cup.
"I wish everyone involved at the club all the best for the Champions League and the season ahead."
Club owner Mitch Goldhar added, "I wish to thank Robbie and all his staff—Rory Delap, Dave Sarachan, Mike Stowell, and Phillip Hudson—for their hard work and dedication throughout this season in helping to bring the championship back to Maccabi.
"Robbie and his staff faithfully fulfilled their duties under difficult circumstances, for which I am and will always be grateful.
"Robbie, the club, and fans will always be connected through the challenging and successful 2023/24 campaign."
Keane's decision to stay in Israel while the conflict in Gaza occurred and is occurring has been met with lots of criticism by people back in Ireland.
Social media users have reacted to the news about Keane's departure today in very different fashions.
"There is no denying Robbie Keane was a good player for Ireland. Sadly, his legacy will be as a self-serving, egotistical money-grabber devoid of humanity. Irish people have always supported the oppressed, not collaborated and worked with the oppressor," said one user on X. Another added, "Should be nowhere near Irish football ever again. Destroyed his reputation. Maybe he can go work in the Russian league or see if he can realise his boyhood dream of managing in North Korea."
While some have offered a more empathetic take on Keane being a manager in Israel: "He got caught up in a difficult situation and tried to balance his different responsibilities—to the club, its Canadian owners, the fans, his career, the victims of Oct 7, and the victims in Gaza. I wish him well in his future career," said another.
