Great optimism in the ranks of Maccabi Tel Aviv following the good ability the team showed in yesterday's victory over Hapoel Haifa (1: 3) over Sami Ofer, which brought it back to the top of the table (6th place).
But what happens with the appointment of a new coach?
A source close to the heads of Maccabi estimated that: "There will be a new coach soon", which may indicate progress in talks with one of the candidates who were interviewed for the position, but as of this writing it seems that Barak Yitzhaki will continue to stand on the lines against Hapoel Nof Hagalil. Beitar Jerusalem.
At this point Yitzhaki was not asked by owner Mitch or Goldhaar or by his representative Jack Angelidis to coach the team until the end of the season, when at least now the intention is as stated to appoint a coach in the coming days.
"There is a direct connection between me and the management and we are looking for a coach," said Yitzhaki. "I hope it will happen as soon as possible. The situation is not a simple situation but we have to deal with it."

Maccabi were very pleased with the performance of Tal Ben Haim who scored and said: "Every player who does not have the passion and desire to play every game so his place is neither in professional football nor in football in the neighborhood. I was not comfortable with the situation that I did not play "I know it's part of the deal. They gave me the opportunity and I'm glad I did."
Ben Haim added: "Everyone knows what Maccabi Tel Aviv's goals are every season, we want to be the highest possible, but at the moment we are not thinking too far ahead.
"Even if we were in first place, I would not say that it is possible to talk about a championship in November, certainly after we started the season not well."
The attacking player also referred to the assistance from Hapoel Haifa: "Their self? A self-goal is a nightmare. It is certain that he (Anthony Izuchiko, SA) had a hard time and it is a matter of a lot of bad luck.
Fortunately, it was in our favor, but even without the own goals, we had a lot of situations to score. "
