Barak Yitzhaki under pressure at Anorthosis after 0-2 defeat to Omonia

In depth

Anorthosis lost 0-2 to Omonia Nicosia in the Cypriot league, their second defeat under Barak Yitzhaki. The team has lost seven of its nine league matches, and its situation continues to worry. Since his appointment, Yitzhaki has a record of one win and two defeats.

At the post-match press conference, Yitzhaki was asked about rumors linking him to the Maccabi Haifa coaching job and responded only: "I don't react to rumors." Responding to the professional difficulties, he said: "We need more time, although I know we don't have that privilege." Yitzhaki also said: "I arrived two weeks ago. We need to play attacking football."

Anorthosis president Christos Maranghos addressed the coach's future in an interview with Sport TV, stating: "He is our coach." Professional director Lior Refaelov is focused on finding a foreign coach and is holding talks with several candidates, and the chances of signing Yitzhaki are fading, as his contract has no release clause.
