Maccabi Tel Aviv players expressed support for manager Yoav Ziv, rather than staging a rebellion, following his departure from the club. Liran Strauber, a sports commentator, revealed on air that the players approached owner Jack Angelides in an attempt to keep Ziv, describing the action as an expression of appreciation for his work and relationships with the team.
Strauber clarified that Ziv's departure was decided earlier and that the players' move was a personal initiative, not an organized revolt. He stated that the players spoke with Angelides, but the decision was made in advance, reportedly two weeks before the news broke. Strauber also suggested that Ziv might continue in a different role at the club, noting that the club's operational manager had already been appointed before the announcement of Ziv's departure.
Another commentator, Maor Kandil, agreed that a rebellion would be uncharacteristic of Maccabi Tel Aviv players and suggested the action was a show of support. However, Kandil expressed certainty that Ziv would not return to his position.
