More than a month ago, the controversy fell with the president of Maccabi Haifa, Yaakov Shachar, regarding the extension of coach Barak Bachar's contract.
To his associates, he clarified that Bachar is the right man to continue to lead the group professionally.
Some even said that "Shahar smiled back, he finally enjoyed Maccabi Haifa and had no intention of ending it."
As reported in "Israel Today", the talks began as early as December.
About two weeks ago, the settlement arrived, but the official announcement was rejected due to the mourning of the Kaz family, over the passing of the late Israel, his partner and one of the people close to Shahar.
As mentioned, things were agreed between Shahar and Bachar, and the coach for his part won the trust of the owner not only in terms of the contract, which will be signed for the first time for two years and not for the season.
Shahar will take care of rewarding the esteemed coach with an additional 25 percent of his salary, and the rest of the professional team members, who will continue to work together, will also receive an upgrade.
Behind the scenes, Shahar knew that Bachar's name was mentioned as a candidate to join the Israeli team.
This time he did not wait for his coach to leave, but made sure to leave him as early as January.
Another amazing statistic regarding Bachar and the trust he enjoys in Maccabi Haifa: no coach has received a two-year contract since the last two decades.
Even foreign coaches who enjoyed exceptional professional freedom, Shahar still believed in them for one season.
"There is nothing more to prove, for many years things did not connect at Maccabi Haifa as in the last year and a half," the club said. "There is an excellent relationship between the management and the professional team. A big part of what is happening. "
Champions?
A dream
It was clarified to Bachar that for Maccabi Haifa, he will continue on the same line.
The budget in the summer will increase in light of the successes, but not in numbers that will exceed the limits of the sane line that Shahar imposes.
For Barak Bachar, the goal set is success in the European framework.
Although the Champions League is a dream, Bachar is aiming for there or for the European League.
"The conference will always be there and can be a soft landing and economic security," Maccabi Haifa explained.

Thus, the plan is to add three players by the summer: Extreme, with Mavis Chibuta's name on the table, a right-back and possibly another defensive player.
In January defense matters are not on the agenda.
Only if there is a realistic possibility of bringing Chibuta, as part of future construction, will the reinforcement be implemented in the short term.
Meanwhile, Barak Bachar has another goal this season, and that is to win a second consecutive championship.
In Haifa, they admitted that "the victory over BS is important, but the championship is still far away." In general, the events of the game still occupied the members of the club yesterday. Assistant BS coach Eric Bendo. Judge Roy Reinschreiber clarified in a report he submitted that "there was no physical contact."
Meanwhile, in talks between Bendo and officials in the club's management, it was agreed that it was necessary to lower the height of the flames.
Shahar even added in a press release: "Request from our wonderful fans: We should not interfere in the incident that was in the middle of the game. Continue to encourage and push the team and pay tribute to Eric Bendo, who was a dedicated player and our captain for years."
