Dedas joined the team in April of last season and helped Hapoel reach the Israeli League finals, where they took crosstown rival Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv the distance before falling. He had spent the previous season and a half in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague as Dimitris Itoudis’s assistant coach.
Dedas, 42, has had a long and distinguished coaching career. He has been head coach at MENT, OFI Crete and AEK Athens in his native Greece, Gaziantep and Bahcesehir Koleji Istanbul in Türkiye, and Hapoel Holon in Israel. Dedas also served as an assistant at Aris Thessaloniki, Russian’s Spartak Saint Petersburg and CSKA Moscow, and the Slovenian national team.
