The professional challenge facing Katsch is complex and complicated.
Panathinaikos is in an economic and professional crisis this season, and for the first time in 31 years is expected to end the season without going through a stage in the European factory in which it participates.
Despite last night's 71:88 victory over Wheelerban, it shares with the Red Star Belgrade the 15th place in the Euroleague table, with six wins against 12 losses.
Katsch will deliver his debut training session in Athens today, and tomorrow he is expected to stand on the lines for the first time in the away game against Fenerbahce.
The participation of Captain Ioannis Papatero and stranger Howard St. Ross is questionable due to injuries;
Next Thursday, the Israeli's comeback to Uaka will be completed, when he will guide his new team in his first home game as a coach, against Moscow Khimki.
In the Greek league, the team is in a much better position.
This week she returned to first place in the table, after beating AEK Athens 75:80, and on Sunday she will play an away game against Aris Thessaloniki, which is ranked at the bottom of the table.
Pau, who holds a streak of four championship wins, will not have to face Olympiacos in the local arena this season either, as her arch-rival plays in the second division.
Exciting closing of a circle.

Katsch (46) is still considered one of the most beloved foreigners in the history of Panathinaikos.
He was brought to her by Zeljko Oberdovic, in the summer when the Serb was appointed team coach, and remains to this day in close relations with the Pau, and especially with his two teammates that season - who recently became two of the club's strongest men: Eternal captain Frankie Alvertis. Dimitris Diamantidis as CEO; and team manager Yorgos Claitsis.
The main question concerns next season. Pau is in a severe economic crisis, after owner Dimitris Yanakopoulos announced in the summer the sale of the club, leaving him with a meager budget, which is estimated to be the lowest in the Euroleague. Urgently for a significant upgrade - whether through a return of Yanakopoulos, recruiting investors or finding a buyer - so that they can put together a competitive
team.Because Panathinaikos routinely enjoys one of the largest and most loyal fans in Europe, the prolongation of the corona plague will also have a direct impact on its situation.
