Hapoel Tel Aviv coach Danny Franco does not have a contract for next season. Franco's current tenure is a professional success, and it's hard to argue about that.

At the age of 50, Franco knows that without a significant achievement in Europe or in the league, his chances of continuing to the next season are very low. "As long as the goals are met, the criticism is only from the teacher," Franco says. Hapoel is two minutes away from its first title after 54 years.
