Hapoel Beer Sheva, season 2022/23 season opener (Yossi Itach, Sheva website)

Barak Bachar may set a private record on Saturday night, if he leads Maccabi Haifa to win the Champions League.

If that happens, it will be Bachar's 13th title in his career, making him one of the ten most decorated Israelis in local football.

Bachar is currently ranked 14th with 5 championships, a state cup, three toto trophies and three championships.

One degree (Toto Cup) is taken as a player, so in the rankings you will soon read, the titles are from your entire professional career.

So who are currently the ten most decorated Israelis?

6. Giora Spiegel - 16 titles



Perhaps the best player-coach ever in Israeli football - 10 titles as a player and 6 titles as a coach.

He does not have a single title in France, although he played there for five seasons (in Strasbourg and Lyon), but the second golden age in the history of Maccabi Tel Aviv, between 1964 and 1972, is mainly registered in his name.

He won 6 championships (4 as a player - 1968, 1970, 1972 and 1979; 2 as a coach - in Bnei Yehuda in 1990 and Maccabi Haifa in 1994), 7 state cups (4 as a player - 1964, 1965, 1967, 1970; 3 As a coach - in Maccabi Tel Aviv in 1988, in Maccabi Haifa in 1993 and 1995), he won the Toto Cup in Maccabi Haifa in 1994 and two Asian Cups for champions with Maccabi Tel Aviv in 1969 and 1971.

The promotion to the Olympics in 1968 and to the 1970 World Cup - with the Israeli team, or promotion as a coach to the quarterfinals of the cup held with Maccib Haifa in 1993, is not considered a title ...

5. Alon Harazi - 17 titles



The assistant coach of the team has won all his titles as a player, one of the most decorated players in history.

He has 9 championships (one of the only two who did so), 8 in the Maccabi Haifa uniform (1991, 1994, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2009) and one in Betar Jerusalem (1998), he has three trophies with Maccabi Haifa ( 1991, 1993, 1995) and 5 Toto Cups (4 with Haifa - 1994, 2003, 2006, 2008, and one with Betar Jerusalem - 1998).

4. Arik Bendo - 17 titles



Arik Bendo also won 9 championships, but what sets him apart from Harazi is the greater number of trophies.

Bando won seven championships in the Maccabi Haifa uniform (1994, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2011) and two in the Betar Jerusalem uniform (2007, 2008).

3. Nir Bitton - 18 titles



The new Maccabi Tel Aviv midfielder is the exception on this list: he achieved all his titles at Celtic Glasgow, he has no title in the country, which will surely arouse his hunger.

He has won 8 championships, 7 of them in a row (between 2014 and 2020) and another one last season;

He has 4 consecutive Scottish Cups (between 2017 and 2020), and 6 League Cups (2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022).

If you make a quick calculation: he has four consecutive trebles, and he also has 10 appearances in the home stage of the Champions League in three different seasons, which is also a lot.

Belem Hapoel Beer Sheva is the most decorated football player in Israel, although not the most decorated Israeli.
