Hapoel Jerusalem introduced their brand new head coach Aleksandar D\u017eiki\u0107 at a festive press conference held at the Arena. The Reds owner Eyal Homsky spoke passionately about the Serbian tactician and his hopes for the upcoming season as management begins to build the roster for the 2022\/23 campaign. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a coach at the highest level of Europe. We dreamed for a very long time that he would be the coach of Hapoel Jerusalem. My headline for Hapoel Jerusalem is that we have to be better in all aspects. In terms of professionalism I believe that Aleksandar will help us improve not only on the court but as an entire organization with his many years of experience including the NBA. I look at Hapoel Jerusalem as a business and everything has to be professional.\u201d<\/p>\n

Homsky who is known to be a colorful character at the club\u2019s games is aware that he may now have some competition in that category, \u201cI think that there may be someone a bit crazier than me and I\u2019m happy about that, so I feel that it\u2019s the DNA that Hapoel Jerusalem needs as we are a club with heart and soul. I\u2019m very happy that Yotam will continue with the team and he recommended that Alek would be here with us.\u201d

\n\u201cI\u2019m expecting more fans and that the city of Jerusalem will continue to support us. Guy is working day and night as he is racing after players and soon enough you will hear who they are. I don\u2019t want to look back into the past but if they didn\u2019t succeed it isn\u2019t because of them but because of us. We have to give the coach the tools to succeed and we have to do things better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following Homsky, D\u017eiki\u0107 made an opening statement and then took questions from the assembled press, \u201cI\u2019m happy and excited to be a part of a club with an important history in Israeli and European basketball and I\u2019m happy that I\u2019ll be around people that are very ambitious. I\u2019ve been here before so I know the fans and now we want to go forward which is our goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new bench boss also spoke about the challenges of building a new roster, \u201cWe want a responsible team and we are building a new team so today I can\u2019t be clear about deeper insights or details. But we want guys that will play to win and play for each other. It\u2019s easier to say it and harder to do it. We may promote some Israeli players and we will see how it goes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we can keep some of the guys that will help the team we will do it, but sometimes market dictates direction where you want to go. I\u2019ll play with any type of a guard and it doesn\u2019t matter from what country they are from but players with good personality and those who will try to achieve our goals.\u201d

\nTwo players who Jerusalem would like to potentially keep are Suleiman Braimoh and Jalen Adams but due to the player market, contracts have increased and coming to an agreement will be something that needs to be right for both sides, \u201cIt\u2019s not just us that will decide which players will be here, we all like Su and he\u2019s a great player but can we pay him. Right now he has some good overseas offers. Sometimes it\u2019s a two way street and we will have to come together and make a deal. We will try to meet but we don\u2019t know if we will be successful. Those players are very good and maybe their value is going up a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n

D\u017eiki\u0107 is happy about the fact that there is only one person at the top of ownership, \u201cWe are analyzing the players that were here and we want to see. The club is managed by ambitious people and I like that there is only one guy at the top. I think that as a club it has very good logistics and a very clear understanding on roles and that is a very good foundation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The coach continued, \u201cSometimes changing the roster completely is not a good thing and in Israel you have to have a certain amount of domestic players. Right now we have see what local players we can afford and then a mutual agreement as to how to begin the club which my belief is the point guard. Those players have to play together but the question is can they play together, for each other and with each other.\u201d

\n\u201cSome types of players that you can\u2019t come here you have to go outside and convince them to come, but every other club in Europe is trying to do the same. Every club has high goals at the start and that\u2019s the nature of sports, competition. That\u2019s part of the package.\u201d<\/p>\n

D\u017eiki\u0107 also spoke about his colorful side, \u201cIf craziness means we want to win I really want to win and we will fight every game. We will try to do our best to please the fans. I\u2019m not sure about the level of craziness, I am a straight in your face kind of guy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bench boss discussed how he sees his staff as well as the the start of the season, \u201cI will try to being some people who I know how to work with and know how they work with me which isn\u2019t the easiest things. Every team will have issues at the start of the season as there national team and FIBA window which creates questions that will need answers. I\u2019m assisting on 2+ Israeli coaches on my staff and two of mine to speed up the process at the start of the season. I\u2019m a pretty demanding person and it\u2019s not easy to work with me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, D\u017eiki\u0107 spoke about how Yotam Halperin being part of the management team is an advantage that will help the club, \u201cI\u2019m not going to waste our time explaining how important it is that Yotam Halperin is here and everyone understands that, he\u2019s a legend and he\u2019s in love with the club and understands everything from outside and inside and vice-versa. So from him being here it\u2019s a good thing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
