Returning to the hall: Oded Katash has been appointed coach of Maccabi Tel Aviv

The Yellows gave the reins to the former coach of the Israeli national team, who signed for two seasons and returned for a second term at the club in the hope of being more successful than in the 2007/08 season, which ended in quick dismissals.

The group is expected to increase gear in the construction of the staff

Game Summary 3: Real Madrid - Barcelona 66:81 (Sport 1)

New-old face in Yad Eliyahu: Oded Katash was appointed Maccabi Tel Aviv coach today (Saturday).

This is after the parties reached agreements on a two-year contract.

Katsch will return to coach a team for the first time since finishing his role at Panathinaikos in June last year, and will get a second chance to stand on the lines at the hall after his short and disappointing term in 2007, where he was still in his early days as coach.

Katsch is expected to be featured tomorrow at a press conference, and there are already working meetings with club members to attach foreign players.

In fact, Katsch was nominated as a key candidate for the position as early as February this year, following the dismissal of Yannis Sapropoulos, but negotiations were unsuccessful amid gaps around the length of the contract.

The Yellows stayed with Avi Even as head coach, lost the championship and now return to the Katsch option, after failing contacts with Spanish coach Xavi Pascual, who was marked as the first candidate to coach Maccabi Tel Aviv, but his team Zenit St. Petersburg refused to release him.

Katsh is remembered by the older generation of Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, especially from the days when he juggled the floor and became the big star of the team, between the years 1995 and 1999.

Katsch turned his playing career, which was cut short at the age of 25 following a series of injuries, into a respectable coaching career.

In his title cabinet there is one championship in 2010 with Hapoel Gilboa / Galil, two consecutive State Cup wins with Hapoel Jerusalem and a local double with Panathinaikos in Greece.

Katsch's resume includes terms at Hapoel Galil Elyon, Gilboa / Galil and Hapoel Tel Aviv, and two terms are at Hapoel Eilat and Hapoel Jerusalem.

He has also come a long way in national team basketball and has served both as the coach of the reserve team, which led to a European silver medal in 2017, and as the coach of the senior Israeli team.

When it comes to building the roster, the team has recently prepared a long list of players who might join, including Daryl Macon of Panathinaikos, and has been waiting for the appointment of a coach to move forward in negotiations.

As we have published, a number of teams, including Barcelona, ​​have expressed interest in Scotty Wilbkin, who has a guaranteed contract for the upcoming season, and recently the player expressed to the team leaders a certain desire to leave.

The final decision on him is expected to be made in the coming days, with Fenerbahce also in the picture and submitting to Wilbkin an improved offer in hopes of joining him.
