Is Xavi Pascual approaching Maccabi Tel Aviv?

While the Yellows are looking for a new and senior coach with the aim of rehabilitating the team, and against the background of optimism at the club that Pascual will indeed arrive, tonight (Tuesday to Wednesday) the coach's agent, Vadim Mikhalevsky, posted a post suggesting rapprochement between the parties.

Mikhalevsky posted a picture of himself talking on the phone, tagged himself in Tel Aviv, Israel, and wrote: "Every day is a good day to do great things."

Although the picture he uploaded is definitely not from Tel Aviv, the message can certainly encourage Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, who are longing for a senior professional on the lines.

Yesterday, as you may recall, we reported that there is optimism in Maccabi Tel Aviv regarding the possibility of appointing Xavi Pascual as the team's coach next season.

The Yellows contacted the coach again after winning the VTB Championship with Zenit St. Petersburg on Saturday, and despite statements by his assistant coach that "something special will have to happen in order for him to leave",

The fact that Zenit St Petersburg, Pascual's current team will not play next season in a European factory according to the marker, paves the way for him, and the fact that most of the top teams on the continent have already filled the coaching role prevents him from moving elsewhere.

Maccabi has allocated a sum of money, which according to sources at the club, is significantly higher than the sums paid since the team coached David Blatt, since the team will also have to pay compensation to the Russians for Pascual's release, if and when he arrives.

The team will wait until Pascual's final answer to start moving in the player market, with the assessment being that with the appointment of a coach, the signing campaign will begin.

Of the foreigners, only two players may remain - Scotty Wilbkin and Keenan Evans.

All the other foreign players will not continue.

Wilbkin holds a guaranteed contract with the team, but the feeling among both parties is that there is an extraction of the relationship, and that if an offer arrives that will satisfy the Yellows in terms of compensation, they will agree to release him.

However, it is possible that the appointment of a senior coach in the form of Pasquale may devour the cards.
