Maccabi Tel Aviv FC reached an agreement with coach Shota Arveladze to part company by mutual consent and would like to thank him for his contribution.

Sports Director Jordi Cruyff told the clubs’ official website: “We would like to thank Shota Arveladze for his contribution to Maccabi Tel Aviv FC and for guiding us to the Europa League Group stages during his period at the club. Sometimes, things do not work out the way you plan them whether that be the fault of myself, players or the coach. In situations like that in football it is better to part company and move forward. We would like at the same time, wish Shota all the best of success in the future”.

Shota Arveladze added: “I would like to thank everyone connected with Maccabi Tel Aviv FC – the staff, the players and fans for the time I spent here working at Maccabi and will always have the club and people at heart”.
