Maccabi Netanya is actively searching for a new CEO to replace Gil Lev, who has requested to step down. The club, known as the "Diamonds," reportedly came close to signing Ben Mansford, the current CEO of Maccabi Tel Aviv. Netanya had offered Mansford a lucrative three-year contract worth half a million euros per season.
Despite this near-acquisition, the search for a CEO continues. The club's ownership is reportedly uninterested in any Israeli candidates proposed thus far. Their primary objective is to recruit an external CEO with prior experience managing a football club.
Maccabi Netanya currently sits in sixth place in the Israeli Premier League with nine points. Their upcoming fixtures include matches against Ironi Tiberias on Saturday, followed by a game against Hapoel Jerusalem.
