Summary: Maccabi Haifa - Municipal Kiryat Shmona 0:2 (Sport1)
Omar Atzili officially signed his new and upgraded contract with Maccabi Haifa this evening (Sunday), and will continue in the champion's ranks until the summer of 2026, with an option for another season.
"I am happy and satisfied to continue at Maccabi Haifa, which has become my home since I arrived here," he said after the signing.
"My head is all about continuing to make the green crowd happy and bring achievements to the club."
As I recall, the team's top scorer concluded most of the details of the contract a long time ago, but the signing was delayed due to minor disputes stemming from Azili's desire to receive bonuses for goals and assists, as well as due to a debate over the commissions the agents will receive.
In the last few days, the disputes were resolved after Atzili got what he wanted.
In the new contract, the 29-year-old winger will receive bonuses for goals and assists, and will also have a release clause abroad. Despite the addition of the clause, those around the player claimed that the ambition is to stay at Maccabi Haifa and that only a financially or professionally very tempting offer would make him activate it.
Signed for three and a half years, with an option for another season.

Sports director Gal Alberman commented on the signing already at the conclusion stage: "From his first day at the club, Omer showed great commitment to leading the team to success and quickly became a key player. We wish Omer great success in the years to come, team and personal achievements and many moments of happiness together with the green crowd. We love you Omer! ".
The club's CEO, Itzik Ovadia: "We continue to implement our plans for the club's present and future.
Omar Atzili is an important strategic asset for us and I am happy that he remains with us in the Maccabi Haifa family.
We are all determined to continue together and march the club to further achievements.
Good luck Omar!".
