Hapoel Tel Aviv Fires CEO Oren Hasson Amidst Disagreements

Oren Hasson has been dismissed as CEO of the basketball club Hapoel Tel Aviv, with club chairman Stav Shaham assuming the role. The decision came after a period of significant disagreements, according to sources close to Hasson. Hasson reportedly expressed to his confidants that the decision to fire him was not professional and not in the best interest of the club, suggesting that the decision-makers were not prioritizing Hapoel Tel Aviv's welfare.

Hasson was reportedly with the team in Sofia until the morning of his dismissal, even attending a dinner with coach Dimitris Itoudis. He was summoned to Shaham's office where he was informed of his termination. The article suggests that disagreements over the team's management, particularly concerning Gili Ra'anan's increased involvement in club operations following Ofer Yanai's stepping back, were the primary cause for Hasson's departure.

Stav Shaham, who also serves as the team's chairman, has now taken over the CEO position. Further details regarding the circumstances of Hasson's exit were revealed on the "Press Box" program.
