Hapoel Tel Aviv Denounces Former Coach Masai Dego's 1.7 Million Shekel Lawsuit

Hapoel Tel Aviv and former coach Masai Dego have been embroiled in a legal dispute since their separation over a year ago. Dego filed a lawsuit against the club demanding 1.7 million shekels. In response, Hapoel Tel Aviv publicly condemned the claim, describing it as a bad-faith attempt by a highly paid football coach to unjustly obtain money. The club accused Dego of demanding payment without working and stated, "It takes a great deal of audacity to demand such a fee without providing services." Furthermore, the club emphasized that their promotion to the league was achieved despite Dego, not because of him. The conflict has escalated tensions between the parties, with the club's response highlighting the severity of the disagreement.
