The Israel Basketball Association is in advanced negotiations to appoint Neno (Ronen) GinZburg as the new head coach of the Israeli national team, following the departure of Ariel Beit-Halahmy due to unsatisfactory performance in the recent campaign. GinZburg, 63, is considered the leading candidate to lead the team into a new era.
GinZburg brings extensive international experience, notably his decade-long tenure as head coach of the Czech Republic national team. Under his guidance, the Czechs achieved unprecedented success, reaching the quarterfinals of the 2019 FIBA World Cup, making a historic appearance at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and securing seventh place at the 2015 EuroBasket. His coaching style is characterized by modern, fast-paced basketball, quick ball movement, lethal transition play, and strict defensive discipline, while allowing creativity for key offensive players.
At the club level, GinZburg had a significant impact with Czech club Nymburk, winning numerous championships and making them a force in European competitions. He also coached Prometey of Ukraine to notable achievements in the EuroCup and recently coached in Europe and Japan. Now, at the peak of his professional experience, GinZburg is reportedly close to taking the reins of the Israeli national team.
