Kobi Refuah and Hapoel Tel Aviv players in training (Shahar Gross)
Is Hapoel Tel Aviv on the way to a shock even before the start of training for the beginning of next season? ONE has learned that coach Kobi Refuah is considering continuing his career in the team if assistant coach Nimrod Kostika will not continue to be by his side next season as well.
The professional manager, Omar Boxenbaum, wants the boys’ coach Omar Damari, the club’s former player, to come up and work alongside Medicine. At the same time, the owner, Sharon Nisnov, wants the assistant coach, Salim Toema, to continue with the team if he does not find a financial solution that can make him the team manager, as we published in ONE.
Bottom line, the team has a big ‘salad’ around this issue, when medicine is unwilling to be dictated to him by the assistant coach’s issue. In each team the coach is the one who determines who will be the assistant coach who will work alongside him and it is all actually a matter of money. If the group finds a budget, then Toema will move to the position of director and alongside Medicine will work Kostika and also Damari, and if not then there may be controversy around that.
The coach himself told the Hapoel staff: “I have no problem with both of them being my assistants. I have no problem with Damari. I raised him who was an actor. ” Meanwhile, Medicine is supposed to return to the country on vacation and then he and Boxenbaum set up a meeting to resolve this issue. Sources around the group estimated that Boxenbaum would not blow up the issue on that. On the other hand, sources close to the medicine said that the coach was determined and would not be willing to give up on this issue even at a price that would find itself outside the Reds.
