Amir Hadad Named Coach of Israel Davis Cup Team Alongside Okun
Amir Hadad has been appointed as the coach of the Israeli Davis Cup team, joining newly named captain Noam Okun to prepare the squad for upcoming international competitions.
Ten days after Noam Okun was appointed captain of the Israeli Davis Cup team, the coaching staff was completed on Monday with the appointment of Amir Hadad as the national team coach. Hadad will collaborate with Okun in preparing the squad for its upcoming international assignments.
As a former Israeli national team player, Hadad achieved a career-high singles ranking of 180th in the world and 87th in doubles. One of his most notable career achievements occurred in 2002, when he partnered with Pakistani tennis player Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi to reach the third round of the Wimbledon doubles tournament.
The appointment reunites Hadad and Okun, who previously played together representing Israel in international competition and will now attempt to lead the team from the coaching side.
Davis Cup captain Noam Okun commented on the new addition:
"I am very happy about Amir joining the staff. Amir is first and foremost a friend and partner from our days as players on the Israeli national team. He brings rich international experience, a deep understanding of tennis, and the challenges of the Davis Cup, and I am confident our connection will be highly meaningful."
