Roni Levy

Roni Levy's team will try to reach the final against Maccabi Tel Aviv (Sunday, 20:00). Alon Azugi and Willan Cyprien will be absent, as will likely Gregory Morozov, who is suffering from a muscle strain.

Ahead of the Toto Cup semi-final against Maccabi Tel Aviv, the club's management is taking an extraordinary step for thousands of season ticket holders who will receive a special benefit ahead of the decisive encounter.

An interesting gesture by the Diamonds ahead of Sunday's meeting against Maccabi Tel Aviv. At the same time, Roni Levy continues to work on strengthening the squad and is looking for a center-back and a winger.

The owner of Maccabi Netanya promised to arrive for the season opening round and declared at the gala event: "We will strive for excellence in all areas." Mayor Avi Salma: "I commit to investing millions in the team."

With an unprecedented budget of 54.6 million shekels, impressive acquisitions like Dolev Haziza, and a refusal to sell the squad's stars, Maccabi Netanya wants to erase the trauma of last season and qualify for the upper playoffs. Coach Roni Levy clarifies: "We are doing everything to have a strong team, but we must dramatically improve the defensive game."

The Diamonds are planning further changes to the squad after the loss to Hapoel Ramat Gan. The defender was left out of the squad again, and the two foreign players may be replaced. The club was disappointed with the defense, but complimented Dolev Haziza.

The Diamonds will try to maintain a perfect record in the Toto Cup against Hapoel Ramat Gan (Sunday, 20:00, Sport 1). Zaarura will be absent, Tshibangu may get minutes, and the search for a foreign center-back continues.

The 23-year-old winger made a positive impression at the training camp and will continue to be evaluated by coach Roni Levy. He may feature in Wednesday's Toto Cup match.
