Maccabi Tel Aviv held a practice session at the Kiryat Shalom training facility this morning after the 5:0 win over Kiryat Shemona at Bloomfield Stadium. The club also announced that the team’s head coach, Slavisa Jokanovic would be leaving immediately and would be joining Fulham FC of the Championship League in England.
Javier Perreira, one of Slavisa Jokanovic’s assistants, led this morning’s training session and will be with the club for the next ten days during the transition period between the two staffs. The players who took part in last evening’s match had a light practice that included running and stretching while the other players had a full practice session including games at the end.
Sports Director, Jordi Cruyff who attended today’s training session sent a message to all of the club’s fans concerning the upcoming period of transition: “It’s very important to me that the club’s supporters rely on management during this time. There are only three people who know exactly what is going on at the club and that includes the owner Mitch Goldhar, CEO Martin Bain and myself. Any rumors that are publicized is just pure speculation and our fans should ignore them. The professional staff will do what is necessary and will inform the public on the club’s Official Website when the time is appropriate.”
