Saturday, 08 August 2020, 12:19 Updated: 14:38The signing of the contract of Yorgos Donis as the coach of Maccabi Tel Aviv is in very advanced stages. After a draft alternative held in recent days, the parties are very close to signing and the Greek coach along with his team will arrive in the country earlier this week, possibly even on a private plane from Athens.
Donis' name has been on Maccabi Tel Aviv's list for exactly one month. On July 10, we announced here that the Greek coach who was the first Greek player to play in the English Premier League, is a candidate to be the one to replace Ivica. Both Maccabi Tel Aviv and Donis then decided to check the area at the same time, but the Greek was from the beginning one of the leading candidates to succeed Vladan Ivic.

Donis will sign a two-year contract and earn 400,000 euros net per season. Maccabi Tel Aviv would even have the option to be released from the contract after one season, but like Ivica who signed a two-year contract with an option for a third season, so should Donis' contract, which ended about three weeks ago at Panathinaikos after coaching her for two years, be built. The Greek is supposed to bring his own coaching staff to Israel, which the yellow club very much wanted, as was the case with Ivica. One of Donis' most important people is the Montenegrin analyst Miord Madan, who prepares for him all the materials for the next rivalry and analyzes for him everything that is needed for each game. He is expected to join assistant Macis Angelinas and goalkeeping coach Panayiotis Mliaricis.
The Greek media have stated that Donis' first goal will be to add a new brake in place of Jair Amador, and that he is trying to bring one of these from the Greek league. It is also possible that he will be joined by midfielder Gias Zahid, a Norwegian of Pakistani descent who played for Panathinaikos on loan and for whom Donis fought. The 25-year-old has meanwhile returned to Apoel Nicosia, where he holds a contract for another season.
