Tiberias Football Club Faces Coaching Decision Within 24 Hours Amid Suspension Challenges

Ironi Tiberias football club is actively preparing for the upcoming season while negotiating with coach Slobodan Drapic, who started last season with Bnei Reineh. Drapic is requesting a contract at least until the end of the season, and the club views the talks positively. The team is aware that Eliran Hodeda's suspension could last several months, prompting them to meet with Drapic and request a decision within 24 hours.

Meanwhile, the club's management is considering two distinct coaching approaches. One faction favors appointing an experienced coach, with Nir Klinger mentioned as a potential candidate; Klinger was also linked to Hapoel Haifa last season. The other faction supports hiring a younger, promising coach like Michael Zandberg, who began last season with Hapoel Ramat Gan before being replaced by Massai Dego, who advanced to the Premier League. No formal offers have been made to either candidate yet.

The club is balancing the urgency of the coaching decision with the uncertainty surrounding Hodeda's suspension and the strategic direction for the team's leadership going forward.
