Imagine this: Hapoel Tel Aviv, a club that has long been the Cinderella of the EuroLeague, is now under the leadership of the legendary Dimitris Itudis and refuses to be an easy punching bag! Itudis, the experienced Greek coach, made it clear that Hapoel will not be a doormat among the 19 big clubs in the EuroLeague. “We are new, but we won’t be naive!” he declared.
This season, Hapoel Tel Aviv enters the EuroLeague with the ambition to show some teeth. Itudis pointed out that the team is still in the process of completing its roster, but transfers are not just about filling numbers—they are about building a real team. While rumors swirl about Serbian basketball star Vasilije Micić possibly joining, Itudis diplomatically praised Micić as an outstanding player but revealed no concrete transfer details.
The EuroLeague is serious business, and Hapoel doesn’t want to be just a statistic. Last year, they showed they can perform when the atmosphere is right, but now it’s time for the next step. Itudis is ready to lead a team that plays with knowledge and style, not just presence.
If you thought Hapoel would be an easy target, think again! This EuroLeague season could be a real drama, and Hapoel Tel Aviv is ready to surprise. What do you think? Will Itudis pull off a miracle, or will Hapoel remain the Cinderella of the EuroLeague? Drop a comment and keep the conversation rolling!
