Yellow-and-Blue Head Coach Slavisa Jokanovic is getting his club ready for their WINNER League match against Kiryat Shemona this coming Sunday night December 27th, 20:55 at Bloomfield Stadium. After falling to Hapoel Beer Sheva 2:1 last match, Maccabi will be preparing in earnest for their next game. The coach also discussed the latest news concerning his career:

“I understand your interest about the news reports but I’m here to talk about the upcoming match and we’re preparing for the next game which is worth 3-points. I believe we are in good position to lift the trophy at the end of the season.”

Focussing on the next match:

“This is a press conference about my team, what happened last game and what will be in the next few matches. I don’t want to talk about myself and I prefer not to make any comments about my future. I am here to look ahead to the next game which will be a tough one against Kiryat Shemona.”

Life in Tel Aviv:

“I am here under contract, I’m a professional football coach and I’m ready to do my job. I enjoy my life here in Tel Aviv and have met some very interesting people in this country and it’s a nice place to live and work. I’m enjoying my time here in Israel.”

Concentrating on playing:

“I work with professional adult players and we will push forward. People may have commented that we lost the Beer Sheva game because of these rumors but we did a lot of good things in the match. I’ve been in many dressing rooms and it’s important for the players to concentrate on the upcoming matches and not worry themselves about other things.”
