The circus must end: Hapoel Tel Aviv the day after the professional shock - voila! sport

Summary: Hapoel Beer Sheva - Hapoel Tel Aviv 0:6 (Sport 1)

If players in Hapoel Tel Aviv yesterday (Tuesday) called what was happening in the club "like Golstar", then as in any reality show, there are those who are cut along the way and leave the complex.

If Hapoel Tel Aviv had issued a message along the lines of "Boxenbaum and Drapich - you are not continuing with us", it would have been more appropriate for the mentality and chaos that characterizes the Reds these days.

Sometimes it is hard to believe that the events that take place in the club are not staged.

Hapoel Tel Aviv started the morning with the cancellation of training, talks between the owners and a meeting at noon and talks with Omer Buxenbaum.

The owners were convinced that a shock was needed, the professional manager still believed in Drapić and no decision was made.

Later, Boksa and the coach already stayed with the team in Khodorov and tried to figure out how to get out of this - professionally, communicatively and image-wise.

In the bottom line, the professional manager decided that the pressure and everything that accompanied it had reached the point of no return for him and chose to resign from his position, when Drapich also decided to go along with him.

The coach was awarded a month's compensation, with Buxa the owners will close the details, but they intend to pay him most of his salary until the end of the current season.

Started this day with a back he got from the professional manager.

Maybe Omer Buxenbaum will be a successful professional manager in the future.

In his short tenure at Hapoel Tel Aviv, it hindered the coaches more than it contributed.

He didn't intend to do this, he wanted the team to succeed, but the lack of experience and the desire to influence and help caused a lot of problems, lack of trust of players, disdain for the professional manager and the coach, and most importantly - on the grass played a horrible and shameful team that reached its lowest point in the defeat in Beer Sheva.

And it didn't end there - even in the talks with the Americans, the connection was bad, the potential buyers were not enthusiastic about the thinking of the professional manager, the way in which decisions are made and the level of scouting.

Boxenbaum knew that a purchase by the Americans would at best harm his position, and this also had an impact on his decision.

From here, Hapoel Tel Aviv will try to start a new page today.

The owners will meet with Haim Silves in the hope of reaching an agreement with him until the end of the season.

Sylves will not get the option since the agreement with the Americans does not allow for increased commitments for next season, but perhaps such a clause will be included if the Americans do not purchase the team.

With the appointment of Silves (unless a last-minute U-turn is made to another coach), the club will have to make quick decisions regarding freed acquisition players.

Silves will have to make a decision regarding the Croatian midfielder he has signed, Harvia Ilić, about whom the club received negative feedback yesterday.

In addition, he will decide whether to add one of the three Israeli goalkeepers - Ofir Marciano, Ariel Harosh or Boris Kleiman in a contract for a year and a half or go for a cheaper foreign goalkeeper.

And that's not all: the new coach will decide what to do with Antoine Conte and Romarto, whether to freeze Pablo Gonzalez, which youngsters will continue to receive credit and which will be loaned, and which youth players will be added.

The team has to start from scratch, and it won't be easy for the new coach.

But the problems don't end there.

What do we do with all the Israelis swinging from the summer?

Starting with Idan Vared, Shlomi Azoulai, Dor Alo and also Sintaihu Sallich who received a message to look for a team.

The conduct of the Reds against these players throughout the first half of the season, with the aim of saving their wages, has damaged the market for each and every one of them and the club will have a hard time getting too much benefit from their release.

Moreover, quite a few officials at the club think that part of strengthening the team in January will be to return these players to real professional competition in the squad, and not make them a shameful financial zig-zag that also damaged the general atmosphere of the team.

And most importantly, the coach should be allowed to work quietly.

There is now no professional manager, it is strictly forbidden for Itzik Nisanov to somehow return and start professional involvement.

This circus must end with the appointment of a professional manager, otherwise the Reds will be appointed a fourth coach this season even before the playoffs.

The group is in real danger of relegation, and if the right person does not take responsibility - it will end in the national team.

He must not make decisions again.

It's not going to be simple.

Even if there is a pastoral atmosphere inside the club, the crowd is boiling and looking for everyone - from the management to the last of the players, from the player who got off the bus and made a face that cursed him, through David Kaltins who sat down to eat with players in Beer Sheva and Conte who the fans think is not making an effort, and more or less reaches three quarters of the squad that receives Nasty messages and threats.

If the audience does not change their phase and come on Saturday to support the team against Nes Ziona, this could be a discrimination that will be difficult to come back from.
