Maccabi Haifa Searching for Barak Bakhar's Replacement; Report on Rory Higgins

In depth

Maccabi Haifa continues to search for a replacement for Barak Bakhar, who resigned after the loss to Maccabi Netanya. According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Coleraine manager Rory Higgins from Northern Ireland is on the Greens' list of candidates. Higgins, 41, previously led Derry City to success and has attracted interest from clubs in England.

The Greens aim to complete the appointment during the international break. At the Carmel, they said dozens of foreign candidates have been offered to the club, and the appointment of an Israeli coach is still on the table. No official announcement about the new coach has been made.

At Maccabi Haifa, continuing the season is the main goal following the resignation. The search is expected to continue in the coming days, with the main names on the table not yet settled.
