The disagreement with the club’s future buyers seemed to prevent Menachem Koretzky from continuing at Hapoel Hadera, but according to the club’s announcement this morning (Saturday), it appears that there has been a turnaround and the parties will extend the contract. Hadera announced that after an initial meeting between professional advisor Oren Golan and CEO Eli Degani and Menachem Koretzky, they are approaching an agreement with the coach who is expected to stay on the lines next season as well.
As written in recent days and even said by the coach himself, future buyers of Hapoel Hadera preferred another coach to lead the team after it becomes theirs, although Koretzky is close to guaranteeing a place in the top playoffs and Hadera is currently ranked in a very respectable fourth place.
Now, whether due to a change in the opinion of the future owners, or due to the insistence of the current decision-makers at the club, it seems that Koretzky will continue in the end. “Both sides defined the meeting as excellent, Oren Golan complimented Koretzky on his wonderful work this year and asked the coach to do everything to complete the task and win a ticket to the top playoffs, for the second time in the club’s history. This season, with the aim of gaining experience in the Premier League and becoming legitimate players next season, “the official statement said,” the two sides have scheduled another meeting next week to summarize the financial terms and sign for another season. “
