“Maccabi Tel Aviv, the owner and management, wish to thank Paulo Sousa and all of his staff for their tremendous contribution to what was a highly successful season. Paulo has helped the club continue their progress toward ever greater achievements, embodying a work ethic and professionalism on which Maccabi Tel Aviv place great value. The club wish Paulo all the best in his new challenge as the head coach of FC Basel. A successor will be announced in due course.  The club will not be making any further comments until that time”.
