Suddenly the black sheep of Israeliness has been relegated to Spain Israel today

Managing this crisis is difficult, managing after success is no less difficult.

Managing a crisis after great success is most difficult probably when you are not some economic power.

The one who felt it very well this season was the Spanish Burgos.

After two European titles in the last two years, the team was relegated to the Spanish league yesterday (Saturday) after finishing in last place with less than 30 percent success.

There was a marvelous journey of 5 hours together.

We can only give thanks to our companions always, in good and bad, and we feel we have not been high.

This is the best Spanish poster and we will be working for the devotees on Wednesday.

It may have been finally decided because of the home loss to Fuenlabrada in the last dramatic round of the Spanish league, but the seeds for failure were already there before the season began.

Burgos is the champions of the FIBA ​​Champions League in 2020 and 2021. In both victories, they met an Israeli team in the quarterfinals: Hapoel Jerusalem and then season Hapoel Holon. They defeated both of them on the way to the historic titles. .

A historic moment for the Spaniards,

It turns out that it did not take long for the painful landing all over the ground, but no one expected the fall to be so big and next season it will only play in the league in a second.

By the way, Andorra also went down with it, the team where Gal Makal played part of the season and reached the EuroCup semi-finals this season.

Already before the season, something dramatic was deafening in the terms of the club.

Coach Juan Panaroa, who did magic with the anonymous team and in parallel with the European successes also promoted to the top of the Spanish league, parted ways with the team.

Panaroya received a professional and economic promotion offer from Valencia - one rank below Real and Barcelona and took it.

Penaroya coached in Burgos for two years.

This season there were three coaches on the team.

It started with Jean Tabak (ex-Maccabi Tel Aviv), then the veteran Salva Maldonado and in the strange case of the third coach - Paco Olmus.

He coached the newcomer Braugen with great success and led her to a great season.

For reasons reserved with him he abandoned her during the season to get into Burgos' problems.

He also failed to save her.

Apart from the significant departure of the coach there was a significant departure of a player.

Burgos "paid a price" for their successes when the excellent Cuban forward Jassial River also made the same route to Valencia as his coach.

All this was inevitable and not under the control of the club leaders.

What was in their hands was to build a good staff again.

Here was a great failure.

The combination of the tobacco coach with the staff that was built was bad and from here the snowball started.

Now another Israeli point comes: the season started at the club: Tyros Maggie and Steve Zack (who were released and came to Holon) and Suleiman Braimo (who came to Jerusalem).

At this point in time, the team has become a train station where over 20 players have played this season.

Only one foreigner started and also finished the season (Alex Rainpro).

In Burgos they tried to correct one mistake by another.

The instability in the squad did its thing as with a few other rounds to go, the team added two new foreigners.

We saw the first signs of relegation in the playoffs of the Champions League.

The champion has not even reached the last 16 this season.

It was a big hit but no one thought the big hit would really come at the end of the season.

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
