The Israel Basketball Association has appointed Ronen Neno Ginzburg as its next men’s national team head coach.

Ariel Beit-Halahmy will remain in charge for the final two windows of the 2027 FIBA World Cup qualifying campaign, which concludes in February. Ginzburg will take over in July, with the Olympic pre-qualifiers in August as his first assignment.

“Coaching the national team has been my greatest ambition since I began my coaching career,” Ginzburg said. “I saw the offer as a great honor and a wonderful opportunity to fulfill a dream.”

Ginzburg, 63, coached Czechia from 2013 to 2023, leading the team to seventh place at EuroBasket 2015, sixth at the 2019 FIBA World Cup and a berth at the Tokyo Olympics. At club level, he won five Czech league titles with Nymburk and took Prometey to the EuroCup semifinals in 2023.
