(haipo) – Maccabi Haifa – Following the derby match against the Reds Hapoel Haifa that was held last night (Saturday, May 3.5.2025, 4.5.2025) at the "Sammy Ofer" Stadium in Haifa and following the catastrophic season of failure of Maccabi Haifa, the Maccabi Haifa Football Club announced this evening (Sunday, May XNUMX, XNUMX), and now it is also official, that Barak Bachar, coach of the Greens Maccabi Haifa, and the club's professional manager, Gal Alberman, have ended their roles at the club.
This is definitely a huge shake-up in Haifa and Israeli football alike: The Green Club, Maccabi Haifa, has announced the immediate dismissal of coach Barak Bachar. In addition, Gal Alberman will end his role as the club's professional manager at the end of the current season.
Maccabi Haifa Football Club stated: "During the day, meetings were held between the club's management, the sports director, Gal Alberman, and the team's coach, Barak Bachar. Regarding the position of the professional director, it was decided that Gal Alberman would end his position at the end of the season. Regarding the position of the coach, it was decided that the team's coach, Barak Bachar, would end his position."
During the meeting, the club leaders emphasized their great appreciation for Gal Alberman and Barak Bachar for their shared journey in recent years and thanked them for many happy and exciting moments. Soon, the club will begin searching for a coach and professional staff for next season. The coach of the youth team, Itai Mordechai, the coach of the club's youth team, will be appointed as the temporary coach of the senior team of the green club Maccabi Haifa until the end of the season.
The professional director, Gal Alberman, gave his farewell remarks: "In a joint decision between me and the club, we agreed that we would part ways at the end of the current season. Since 2017, I have been living Maccabi Haifa 24/7 – as a player, as an assistant coach, as the head of the scouting department, and for the last 4 years as the sports director. We have gone through difficult moments together, like last night, but I choose to remember the magical moments: the championships, the unforgettable games in Israel and in Europe, and the joint journey we have made along the way. At the same time, a strong professional infrastructure has been built here, which will continue to serve the club in the future.
"I thank Yankela, Uzi and Or for the opportunity and trust. To the past and present CEOs, Assaf Ben Dov and Itzik Ovadia, for their guidance and shared path. To my friends in the football department, who shared my values, path and uncompromising standards, to Barak and the team, to the dedicated players and employees of the club. And finally, a big thank you to the fans of Maccabi Haifa, who entered my heart, even if I didn't always show it. You were always there, in good times and in bad, everywhere, in Israel and in Europe. I wish this huge club great success and I will continue to follow it always, with pride and appreciation."
We wish "the best of luck" to "Barak Bachar"✨️ - the successful "coach" of "Maccabi-Haifa" = the green "champion" of the red "Haifa-Hifa"... = the "cup holder" was "at its peak" with the "president" - "Yaakov Shahar"🙏 for many "Israeli football" seasons... and we were privileged to celebrate all the "victories" together...!!!@😭
Is this a shock?!?
The more important shock, to disperse
The entire losing squad
To raise the youth.
I think this is the course of action.
There is no shock and no plaster.
This is what should have been done with the first loss.
It's a shame that only now. He made a lot of mistakes, and some of the players are also guilty. Start working. I've already lost hope!
