Maccabi Tel-Aviv sack Nimni

Tel-Aviv, Israel’s richest club, were defeated by rivals Maccabi Haifa 3-0 at the weekend, to leave them in third, behind Haifa and Hapoel Tel-Aviv.

The club’s owner Mitch Goldhar said: “The ownership feels that the team’s performances to date have fallen short of the clear goals and expectations set out at the beginning of the year.”
