The heir of coach David Blatt on Maccabi Tel Aviv‘s bench is his former assistant Guy Goodes. History repeats itself, as Blatt himself was an assistant in Maccabi of former coach Pini Gherson before getting promoted to head coach.
However, 44 years old Goodes seemed destined to get the job since his playing days, as he was a point guard for Maccabi Tel Aviv in the nineties, spending a total of eight seasons with the team. He also has already experience as a head coach, a position he held for two seasons in Hapoel Jerusalem, before leaving in 2010 to became an assistant in Maccabi Tel Aviv.
