Hapoel Petah Tikva Decides to Stick with Coach Ofer Tselappa Despite Recent Losses
After a string of five consecutive losses, Hapoel Petah Tikva has decided to continue with coach Ofer Tselappa for the coming period. The decision came at a board meeting held after the team’s recent loss, with board members opting not to make any rash decisions despite the disappointing results.
The team’s last defeat came at the hands of Hapoel Jerusalem, with the 2-1 loss dropping Hapoel Petah Tikva to last place in the standings. However, despite the poor form, the board has decided to stand by Coach Tselappa for the time being.
It should be noted that the upcoming games against Maccabi Haifa and Sakhnin will not act as a deadline for Tselappa, and he will continue in his role if the situation stabilizes in the near future.
Meanwhile, the team is already planning for the transfer window with the apparent departure of Greek goalkeeper Nikos Yanakopoulos. Reports indicate that Hapoel Petah Tikva has signed goalkeeper Eric Yanko from Hapoel Umm Al Fahem as a potential replacement.
Yanko, who was also a candidate in the summer, has signed a new temporary contract with Hapoel Umm Al Fahem, which is set to expire next month. This would allow him to sign as a free agent and make the move to Hapoel Petah Tikva.
Despite the recent setbacks, Hapoel Petah Tikva’s management is hoping that the addition of Yanko and some stability in the coaching staff will help turn the team’s fortunes around in the upcoming matches.
