Maccabi Tel Aviv Replaces Team Manager Yoav Ziv Amidst Player Disappointment
Maccabi Tel Aviv is set to undergo a significant shake-up in its management with the dismissal of team manager Yoav Ziv. The decision to end Ziv's tenure was made by the club's CEO, Jack Angelidis. It remains unclear whether Ziv will continue with the club in a different capacity or depart entirely.
The news was met with disappointment in the locker room, where Ziv had reportedly built strong connections over the years. Sources close to the players described the decision as difficult, given Ziv's long-standing and significant role within the club.
Raz Ben Shemesh is expected to succeed Ziv as the new team manager and has already begun the transition process. Ben Shemesh previously worked as a logistics manager for Maccabi Tel Aviv. He also has a military background, having served as Head of Personnel in the Air Force with the rank of Colonel, completing 26 years of service. Additionally, Ben Shemesh was part of an external review committee formed after the State Cup final between Maccabi Netanya and Beitar Jerusalem.
