Basketball: Tabak announced as new Maccabi Tel Aviv coach

NOVEMBER 16, 2015 23:36

Zan Tabak was officially appointed as the new head coach of Maccabi Tel Aviv on Monday, accepting the challenge of reviving the yellow-and-blue after its dismal start to the season.

Exactly a week after Guy Goodes was sacked following a disappointing 17 months at the club, culminating in one of the team’s worst ever starts to a campaign, Maccabi named Tabak as his replacement, hiring a foreign coach for the first time since Neven Spahija guided the side in the 2006/07 season.

The 45-year-old Croatian is just Maccabi’s second foreign coach since Vinko Jelovac guided the team in 1997/98.

Maccabi paid a buyout estimated at around 100,000 euros to release the former NBA center from his contract at Montakit Fuenlabrada of the Spanish league, which he only joined this past summer.
