Those around the club raised the option of returning Schechter to Maccabi Tel Aviv due to his proximity to incoming CEO Ben Mansford. Mansford would like a local professional who knows Israeli football well.

Schachter has rarely gotten minutes this season, but every time he was on the pitch he seemed to have more to sell. That's why he's reluctant to retire and feels like he can still play. At the same time, those close to him said today that for a position like the one Barak Yitzhaki had at the club, he would not say no.
