The team from Israel also met with Frutti Extra Bursaspor's coach Dusan Alimpijevic and Zvezdan Mitrovic during the EuroLeague's Final Four, who could be other options if Maccabi will not reach an agreement with the Spanish coach.

Alimpijevic was the Coach of the Year in EuroCup, while Mitrovic has EuroLeague experience with ASVEL and Monaco teams in recent years.

The same report also claims that Maccabi are interested in Pablo Laso, but only if he becomes available this summer.

Maccabi, which were eliminated by Real Madrid in EuroLeague's quarterfinals, fired Greek coach Ioannis Sfairopoulos in the middle of the season and continued to play under former assistant Avi Even for the remaining part of the season.
