Hapoel Nof Hagalil was relegated to the National League yesterday (Sunday), after only one season in the Premier League.
At the India Club: "We deserved to go down, we were not good enough for the high levels."
Despite the relegation, CEO Gil Baram will offer coach Shai Barda to continue in his position next season as well. Barda came to the Galilee landscape in the middle of the season and was given the task of keeping it in the league.
The failure is attributed to the northern team, especially in building the team and the number of borrowers from Maccabi Tel Aviv and Maccabi Haifa is too large.
"There were players who played for themselves and not for Hapoel Nof Hagalil," said players in the team after the relegation, adding: "The purchase in January did not upgrade us. John Ugo arrived out of shape, the same for Ernest Mabuka. We were not allowed to fall with the purchase in January and it happened "The other teams at the bottom got stronger and that was the difference."
Now, the team will begin preparations for next season.
The national players' budget will be NIS 2.5-3 million, similar to the one the team came up with a year ago.
Were we wrong?
