After 20 years, Oded Katash returns to Greece: This morning (Thursday) the Israeli coach officially signed the contract with Panathinaikos and will stand on the lines of the Greek power for the next year and a half. Katsh will already be in the game against Fenerbahce on Friday, and Lior Lubin will be appointed as his assistant.

Later, Katsch was introduced in the Ukah hall and said: “I am excited to be here. Everyone who knows me knows how wonderful the experience was here, how I feel towards Greece, Athens and Panathinaikos. I feel it is my second home. I feel ready for the challenge, very happy and it is an honor “To coach such a big club. There is a lot of work ahead of us.”
The details of the agreement, as is well known, were closed a few days ago – but Katsch remained on the lines of Hapoel Jerusalem in last night’s loss game to Turk Telecom, and only then and after saying goodbye to everyone – the official announcement went out to the world.
For Katsch, this is closing a circle. Exactly two decades ago he finished his career as a basketball player at the same Panathinaikos after marching it to the European Championships, but with a sour taste when injuries prevailed. Now, he is returning to Ukah as the coach and this will be his sixth and most significant stop of his career.
The one who will join Katsch, as first revealed on the sports channel, will be Lior Lubin. The Gilboa / Galil coach for the past season and a half will be appointed assistant to Katsh’s coach and will return to work with him after the two won the championship together in 2010 at the same Gilboa. For Lubin, like Katsch, this will be his first exit from the fields of Israeli basketball to Europe as a coach.
The professional challenge facing Katsch is not simple. Panathinaikos is in the midst of an economic and professional crisis as Dimitris Yanakopoulos, the club’s president, announced last summer that the team has been put up for sale. As a result, the budget dropped significantly and the freedom in the Euroleague accordingly. Although they defeated Willerban 71:88 last night, Pau shares 15th place with the Red Star Belgrade, with six wins against 12 losses.
