The Israeli Basketball Association announced on Thursday that Ariel Beit-Halahmy will conclude his tenure as the national team coach at the end of the current World Cup qualifiers.

Concurrently, negotiations are underway with Neno Ginzburg, who previously led the Czech Republic to the FIBA World Cup and the Olympics. Ginzburg, 63, has had an extensive coaching career, beginning in Israel with clubs like Bnei Herzliya and Ramat HaSharon before moving to the Czech Republic.

He achieved significant success with the Czech club Nymburk, winning multiple championships and cups. His tenure with the Czech national team, from 2013 to 2023, saw them qualify for the World Cup for the first time in their history in 2019, reaching the quarterfinals, and subsequently qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.

Ginzburg also coached Prometey, Kawasaki from Japan, and Wloclawek from Poland in recent years. His experience and success with the Czech national team make him a strong candidate to replace Beit-Halahmy.
