Maccabi Tel Aviv's expectation of an official positive answer from Xabi Pasqual is currently disappointing.

Although the coach and his agent did not inform the Yellows that the chances of getting near Eliyahu were zero, in talks between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Zenit St. Petersburg, it seems that the Spaniard will not be released, when the attempt to reach agreed compensation was unsuccessful.

Maccabi Tel Aviv have not yet given up on the Spaniard, but are expected to shift gears when it comes to additional options in the coaching market.

The club estimated that in any case until the weekend a coach will be appointed for the team.

Among the realistic options are veteran Limir Prasovic, Oded Katash, Dusan Alimpayevich (coach of the Turkish Stock Exchange) and Zevzdan Mitrovic, who coached Monaco until the middle of last season.

If Pascual does not come, it will be another disappointing line for the Yellows, who hoped to land a senior coach with proven experience this summer in Tel Aviv, in order to rehabilitate the team after the disappointing season and return it to the Euroleague success days - but eventually have to compromise again.
