Maccabi Tel Aviv extended Coach Iaonnis Sfairopoulos\u2019s contract<\/strong> until the end of the 2021\/22 season, plus a one year option. Since coming on board November 2018, Sfairopoulos has turned the club around, with a 9-4 Euroleague record to date and a perfect 10-0 record in the Israeli league. Last season, the 52 year old helped lead the Yellow & Blue to the Israeli league title. <\/p>\n

“I am very happy to extend the collaboration with a such a big historical club such as Maccabi Tel Aviv”, said coach Giannis Sfairopoulos after signing the extension, adding: “I would like to thank the owners of Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv for trusting me and giving me the chance to continue to fight for the club’s glory”.<\/p>\n

“I would also like to thank the team players, all my colleagues, the management, the coaches, doctors, physios and the office staff – they all work hard and together we try to bring wins and titles for Maccabi”, the coach continued and emphasized: “I am very proud that I will continue to be part of the Maccabi family and I am very excited that together with our great fans we will continue to write big history for Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv”.<\/p>\n

“I think that signing coach Sfairopoulos on a long term deal fits our strategy”, said sports director Nikola Vujcic. “It shows that Giannis shares 100% the Maccabi DNA basketball-wise and personality-wise. His connection with the essence of the club, the fans and the maccabi moto \u2013 we always believe and never give up – is Absolut. I’m happy today and I know that our fans are happy too and this is very important for all of us. Yalla maccabi”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
