Oren Hasson Replaces Tzachi Reichenstein as CEO of Hapoel Tel Aviv Amid Leadership Turmoil

Hapoel Tel Aviv announced a significant leadership change as Tzachi Reichenstein was dismissed from his role as CEO, with Oren Hasson immediately appointed as his successor. This follows Hasson's recent appointment as chairman, replacing Stav Saham, who took over the chairman role just yesterday. The shift comes after a summer-long conflict between Reichenstein and Hasson over management approaches, leading to overlapping responsibilities and power struggles within the club.

Hasson, formerly chairman of the Israel Football Association and CEO of the League Administration, moved from chairman to CEO following Reichenstein's departure. The club anticipates further changes, including the likely dismissal of Reichenstein's close associates, such as legal advisor Amit Pinto and sporting director Idan Palda.

The club expressed gratitude to Reichenstein for his two years of service and wished him success in his future endeavors. Chairman Stav Saham praised Hasson's extensive experience and dedication to sports, expressing confidence in his ability to strengthen the club and its community ties. Hasson himself acknowledged the trust placed in him and committed to advancing the club professionally and administratively.
