The two best coaches who do not stand on the lines in the major teams of the continent are: Xavi Pasqual (Zenit St Petersburg) and Andrea Trinkieri (Bayern Munich).
The former is set to continue next season in his squad but Trinkieri will likely be a hot commodity in the summer.
Eli Sahar first announced that the Italian coach is Maccabi's candidate for the position of coach next season.
He also reported that there had been contacts with him in the past, but then they fell on the "personnel", that is, on the team that the coach demanded to come with him.
Now, after the era of Yannis Sapropoulos he is again in sight, but his path to the lines in the hand of Elijah is long.
Trinkieri has signed on to team successes almost everywhere he has gone and successes in promoting players.
See what he did to Bamberg who under his guidance burst into consciousness, played excellent basketball and a series of cannons came out of it.
Brad Vanamaker reached the top of the Euroleague and then the NBA, Daniel Theis and Dariusz Miller also reached the best league in the world, Fabian Kozer arrived at Real Madrid and also very much Lou and Yannis Strelniks advanced.
Last season Trinkieri made history with Bayern Munich and brought them to the playoffs and this season too he will fight to get there.
See how Jaylen Reynolds, who came to Maccabi this summer, flourished with him.
He does everything on a relatively modest budget.
He gets more out of his teams than the maximum, exactly what Maccabi has not taken out of itself in recent years needs.
He is very talented and creative and is sure to reach the top of training in Europe.

All this brings him to be in demand in the summer.
Let's give an estimate.
If Dimitrios Itudis does not continue in CSKA, it is possible that the Russian team will turn in his direction. Maccabi can surpass Bayern in the contract it offers him.
It will not be easy to reconcile with him and it is not just the financial matter and the system will have to change if he signs in yellow.
He is a coach with requirements and we have already seen this in Eli Sahar's publication which we talked about in the opening.
He is very focused and not sure that Maccabi will have a team with pressure from above and undercurrents from below it will be easy to digest it.
He is very opinionated, says what is on his mind without filters and will not let them interfere in his way.
It is completely different in the conduct of a metropolis and it is not always easy to system with it.
To sum up: Trinkieri will be an excellent professional choice for competitors and this is a coach that the whole system will have to adapt to if and when.
