Hapoel Holon Parts Ways with Coach Predrag Kronić After One Win in Five Games

In depth

Hapoel Holon announced the parting of ways with coach Predrag Kronić after one win and four losses in the first five rounds of the Premier League. The last two home defeats, to Rishon LeZion and Galil Elyon, sealed the situation.

Before the decision, a meeting was held between the coach and the management, following the dismissal of the sporting director. The club previously approached Yonatan Alon of Emek and was turned down. Coach assistants Ofir Parhi and Sagi Shalev will stay on the sidelines until a new coach is appointed.

The club is also inclined to part ways with foreign player Rivaldo Soares, who was suspended last week following a clash with fans. Another foreign player is expected to be out for two to three months due to injury.
