Kolodny, 39, will be temporarily replacing former Maccabi Ashdod head coach Offer Rahimi, who has been dismissed due to an unsuccessful start of the season.
Of the 10 games the team has played since the launch of the season, it lost eight.
Sunday's game will make Kolodny the first female head coach to oversee a men's team in the national league.
