Dimitris Itoudis: “I Could Have Waited for Offers from Big EuroLeague Teams, But…”
Hapoel Tel Aviv’s newly appointed head coach, Dimitris Itoudis, spoke about his decision to join the club in an official statement on their website.
The ambitious BKT EuroCup team recently announced a three-year deal with the experienced Greek coach, signaling their intention to compete at the highest levels of European basketball.
Coach Itoudis explained his reasons for choosing Hapoel Tel Aviv, emphasizing his belief in the club’s vision:
“The vision and plans presented to me by our president, Ofer Yannay, convinced me to take over at Hapoel Tel Aviv. This club aspires to reach the pinnacle of European basketball, and that aligns perfectly with my coaching philosophy and career goals. Of course, building something great is never easy, but it’s incredibly rewarding when you succeed. I could have waited for offers from major EuroLeague teams, but instead, I chose to work with our management, players, and fans to transform Hapoel Tel Aviv into one of the big teams in EuroLeague.”
Itoudis takes on this challenge with a proven track record, and expectations are high as he aims to elevate Hapoel Tel Aviv to the next level in European basketball.
