Shmulik Brenner appointed coach of Hapoel Holon

In depth

Hapoel Holon announced the appointment of Shmulik Brenner as its head coach. Brenner, 45, signed a contract until the end of the season and replaces Predrag Kronic, who was dismissed four days ago.

Brenner coached Maccabi Ramat Gan for four years until parting ways about half a year ago, and previously coached Maccabi Rishon LeZion, where he got his first opportunity to stand on the sidelines as head coach.

Following the loss to Restaurante Vaca in the FIBA Champions League, the Yellow-Purples were close to resolving the head coaching issue, and a draft contract was sent to Brenner. Brenner said: "I am happy and proud to be appointed coach of Hapoel Holon, one of the great clubs in basketball."
