After a year and a half, Aleksandar Dzikić officially left the bench of Hapoel Jerusalem. The Serbian coach left not because of results, but because for security reasons he did not want to return to Tel Aviv while Israel remains at war.
The announcement:
“It’s not every day or year that a basketball team has to part ways with its coach, for anything other than professional reasons. Unfortunately, this is the first time we are experiencing such a case and we announce the release of coach Aleksandar Dzikic, due to personal challenges as a result of the security situation in Israel.
“Jille”, we want to thank you for a wonderful year and a half. During his time at the club, the coach led Hapoel to the Basketball Champions League finals, won the State Cup and the Winner Cup and built an excellent, high-quality team that plays for its fans, a team that we will always to the best of our ability to stay united.
“Jile”, all of us in Hapoel Jerusalem. players, coaches, staff, management, fans thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you have done for the club. We want to wish you success in whatever path you choose next. Jerusalem will be your home forever
