Maccabi Tel Aviv is waiting for a final decision regarding Katsch.

Wilbkin wants to leave

After Xavi Pascual's appointment was dropped, some board members are unconvinced that Katsch is the most suitable candidate.

If it is decided to appoint him, a senior foreign assistant will be attached to him.

Dan Shamir's name also came up.

Meanwhile building staff on hold: "It will be difficult to put together a team almost from scratch"

Summary: Anadolu Zero - Fenerbahce 92:80 (Sport 1)

The management of Maccabi Tel Aviv is expected to make a decision today (Wednesday) regarding the identity of the team's coach for the 2022/23 season, after the candidacy of Xavi Pascual, the Spanish coach of Zenit St. Petersburg, finally fell yesterday.

The one who is considered the senior candidate is Oded Katash, with whom talks have already been held, and not for the first time in the past year.

Although Katsh is preferred over many members of the group's management, there are those who express concern about his appointment and the terms of the contract are still not agreed upon.

If Katsch arrives, the Yellows are likely to appoint a senior assistant, presumably a more senior European coach, to try to give him significant support.

Another name mentioned in the context of the Yellows in recent days is Dan Shamir, the outgoing coach of the New Zealand Breakers.

The other candidates for the position are Valimir Prasovich, Zevzdan Mitrovic, Sasha Georgeovich and Dusan Olimpayevich.

Preliminary talks have been held with the representatives of each of them recently, but the management will have to decide today on the name they will try to attach.

As for the player segment, the team has recently prepared a long list of players who may join, and are waiting for the appointment of a coach to move forward in negotiations.

As we announced at the end of the season, a number of teams have expressed interest in Scotty Wilbkin, who has a guaranteed contract with the team, and recently the player expressed to the team leaders a certain desire to leave.

However, Maccabi will not make a decision regarding Wilbkin before appointing a coach.

At this point the only player whose status is certain for next season is Roman Sorkin.

"We are in an uncomfortable situation that we got into because of the procrastination in the coaching position, and not just from the last two weeks," said one of the team members last night. "This is a rolling and uncomfortable situation. A new group almost from scratch. "
