Upon learning today with complete surprise of the signing of Omar Azili at Beitar Jerusalem, the Maccabi Haifa Football Club announced today (23/12/24), as follows:
As published on Monday 23/12/24, all terms were agreed between Maccabi Haifa and player Omer Azili and his agent Ronen Katsav for Azili's return to the Maccabi Haifa football club, for a period of two and a half years starting in January 2025.
Notices about the agreement between the parties were published by the player and his agent. The player even informed the team's coach Barak Bachar that he had agreed and that he was happy to return to cooperate with him and do amazing things together as they had done in the past. Despite this, and much to our surprise, the player informed the president of the club this morning that despite the aforementioned conclusion, he decided to play for Beitar Jerusalem. The act is in complete contrast to our organizational culture and what is expected of every player or official in the club.
