Khaled Duchi’s Tenure at Bnei Sakhnin Cut Short

Brief Introduction

In a surprising turn of events, Khaled Duchi announced his departure from the position of chairman of Bnei Sakhnin just start week after his appointment. Duchi was intended to replace Mohamed Abu Younes, but unforeseen financial challenges have compelled him to step down.

Announcement of Resignation

On Thursday, Duchi made a public statement via social media explaining his decision. He began by recounting how he had agreed to take on the leadership of Bnei Sakhnin following a direct request from the mayor of Sakhnin, Ma’zen Ghanaim, to guide the club through its next phase. Duchi acknowledged that he had requested two days to assess the club’s financial situation before officially committing to the role.

Financial Assessment

During a meeting with the club’s management, Duchi was presented with the financial data and outstanding debts facing the organization at that time. Based on the information provided, he expressed his commitment to lead with love for the team and a genuine belonging to his city and community.

Final Steps

“In light of these new revelations and the tight time frame we are operating under, I regret to announce that I am unable to continue in my position as the club’s chairman,” Duchi stated. He conveyed his gratitude to Mayor Ghanaim for his trust and support, as well as to the community for their belief in him.
