He coached ABC Amsterdam during the team's dynasty years, and won three Dutch national championships with the team. Shivek won the Israeli Premier League in 2016 with Hapoel Eilat.

Coaching career

Shivek started coaching in 1983, with Maccabi Netanya, and later moved to clubs such as Maccabi Ra’anana, Maccabi Ramat Gan, and Hapoel Tel Aviv.^[2] Coach Shivek is known for his calm and composed behaviour on and off the court. Beginning in 2003, he coached the Amsterdam Ricoh Astronauts in the Netherlands, leading it to championships in 2008 and 2009,^[3] and the Antwerp Giants in Belgium.^[4]

He was the Coach of the Year in the Dutch Premier League in 2005 and 2009, and was named the league's Coach of the Year in 2008, by the website Eurobasket.com.^[2]

In December 2009, he was appointed as head basketball coach of the senior Israel national team.^[5] In June 2011, he re-signed as coach of Dexia Mons-Hainaut for a third straight year, subsequent to declining job offers from teams in France and Germany.^[6]^[7]
