The Serbian coach is not yet signed for next season, but alongside the team tests that will determine his future, the striker's debut goal he brought also did him good personally after Goldhaar gave him the green light for changes.

Summary of the victory of Maccabi Tel Aviv 0: 1 over Urbani Kiryat Shmona (Sport 1)

After the 0: 1 victory last night (Saturday) over Kiryat Shmona and the loss of Hapoel Beer Sheva to Maccabi Netanya, Maccabi Tel Aviv set themselves a goal to close the gap and at least advance to second place in the table.

An eight-point gap separates the clubs this morning, but Maccabi Tel Aviv can finally look at second place without binoculars, and mark it as a goal.

To do so, Maccabi Tel Aviv will have to persevere from now on and produce a streak of victories, with the upcoming game being the Tel Aviv derby and the team already went on standby last night ahead of the game this coming Saturday night.



The upcoming results will also determine a lot about the future of coach Mladen Krestajic.

Owner Mitch Goldhaar is so far satisfied with the work of the Serbian coach and as evidence, he allowed him to bring in a player in the amount of 1.9 million euros.

"The acquisition of Georgia Juvanovic is an expression of trust in our coach," a Maccabi Tel Aviv source said at the weekend.

"If Mitch had not believed in Krestic, he would not have let him get started with the change plan and there will be many more moves this coming summer."

Maccabi Tel Aviv also testify that the relationship between Krasteich and Barak Yitzhaki is very good and that they worked in full cooperation at the end of the window to bring in Juvanovic and stopper Joshua Se.

As you may recall, Maccabi Tel Aviv has an option against Krastaj for a new contract and the Serbian coach also knows that his path to the next contract depends on the upcoming results. Maccabi Tel Aviv will play this month against PSV Eindhoven and going over to the next stage in the Conference League, will be a great achievement for the Serb who will be taken into account by Goldhaar. Closing the gap from Hapoel Beer Sheva will also be considered a success and, of course, winning the state cup. Krasteich himself does not look too far and expects the players, first of all, to please the Maccabi Tel Aviv crowd, which has seven disappointments this season. Krasteich talks a lot in his meetings about the fans and after the disappointment of the ability in the State Cup against Maccabi Jaffa, he was shocked with the removal of Brandley Kubas from the squad for last night's game.



Although he kept a low profile when he spoke last night about Juvanovic, it was clear that Krastajic was very pleased with the performance of his new striker in his league debut and more when he came off the bench.

This is a project that cost Goldhaar a lot of money and Krastic really wants Juvanovic to prove it was worth purchasing.

It was important for the coach to praise all the players and certainly for those who built the goal for the Serb.

Krestajic also deliberately did not take out Stifa Fritza when he put in Juvanovic.

In the training of the last two weeks there is a big improvement in burglary and if at first the Serb wanted to get rid of him, now and probably after Eduardo Guerrero was disappointed in his behavior and released, Krastic wants to earn the burglary and not let him feel like a second striker automatically to Lubanovic.

In the meantime, everyone is profiting.

The Serbian striker was in the clouds at the end of the game and moved between stands to be photographed.

He went up to the stands for pictures and was at Maccabi Tel Aviv who feared that such intimate contact with the fans could also endanger him in light of the fact that the omicron is so contagious.

Juvanovic has recovered from a bout in Serbia in recent months and is vaccinated, and yet Maccabi Tel Aviv understand that he needs to be more careful.

"I did not expect such a reception," Juvanovic last night explained the madness that gripped him at the end of the game.

"The fans received me in a way I did not think they would receive me and as soon as I scored the goal, I wanted to share with each of them my immense joy at the goal. What is certain - a victory for the team is more important than my personal goal."
