In 1952 Dvorin began his managerial career at Beitar Tel Aviv.[1] Towards the end of the 1953–54 Liga Bet, the second division, Dvorin joined Beitar Jerusalem, helping them gain promotion to the first division for the first time in their history.[1] In his career, Dvorin coached many teams, including Hapoel Be'er Sheva, Maccabi Sha'arayim, Hapoel Kfar Saba, and Maccabi Jaffa.[1]

Personal life

At the age of 26, Dvorin married Shulamit Goldstein and lived with her in Tel Aviv.[1] Upon the establishment of Israel, he joined Herut, a right-wing militant paramilitary group.[1]
