Maccabi Tel Aviv Set to Retain Kenny Miller as Coach

Center
Translated & summarized from N12 by baba
The story · English

Maccabi Tel Aviv is expected to announce today that Kenny Miller will remain the team’s head coach for the coming season. Miller was not the club’s first choice, but inside the club he is viewed as a sensible decision because he led the team to the cup, knows the club and its players, and understands what changes are needed.

The article says the players also respect Miller, and that there is a common language between both sides. That familiarity is one of the main reasons Maccabi intends to continue with him despite initially looking elsewhere for a coach.

At the same time, professional director Steven Vannhren is searching for reinforcements, specifically a foreign center back and a foreign striker. An attacking midfielder could also be added if Dor Peretz does not eventually sign with the club. The club also has names of foreign left backs on its list in case Roy Revivo leaves.

Maccabi’s foreign players are due back in Israel in the coming days ahead of training resuming on Monday. The report was published by Sport 5 on June 21, 2026, at 07:26.
