Will the young star step up? Angers, who play in the French league, contacted Maccabi Tel Aviv regarding their player, Parfa Guigon. The Ivory Coast midfielder, who played for Maccabi Netanya last season and scored five goals in the league, also received interest from another French team. As you may recall, Guyagon is in a contract year – next summer his contract expires, and he has not yet reached an understanding with the club on a long-term contract.
At the same time, the club is currently busy only appointing a coach for next season, when everyone agrees that the main candidate is Vladimir Ivitch who may return for a second term. A source in the club clarified: “A coach will be appointed first and then the staff will be built. This is what we have done all these years, and we will not act in any other way now.” The club is optimistic that Ivica will eventually be appointed coach of the team and return for a second term in Israeli football.
Meanwhile, the club sent a message to the veteran captain, Sharan Yeni and his friends, Avi Rikan and Tal Ben Haim, in which they asked that they not sign with another team and wait for the decision of the coach to arrive. It is estimated in Kiryat Shalom that at least two of them will be part of the Maccabi Tel Aviv squad next season as well.
