Ticked: Sports Day Events Summary Clip, May 31 (Sports5)
Barak Behar's first professional decision as coach of Red Star Belgrade created a shake-up in Serbia. After goalkeeper and captain Milan Burian was informed by phone that he was not in the plans for next season, local media on Thursday addressed the course of action of the Israeli and his team.
Burian may have won six consecutive league titles and doubles in the last three seasons, but he will be 36 at the start of next season, when Red Star's main goal will be to succeed in the Champions League. "Behar knew he needed new blood between the beams, even before he saw Burian concede a goal from a corner kick in the cup final," Sportal said.
However, they liked the way less: "While the decision is not so surprising, the approach should have been different, because you cannot give such a message on the phone to a player who is part of the history of the club. Obviously, emotions don't play a big role in professional sports, especially in the case of someone 'outside' like Behar, but you could have acted differently when it came to how to deliver the gospel."

At the press conference where he was introduced to Red Star, Behar spoke about the delegation of authority customary in the coaching staff he heads, which led the Serbs to speculate that the one who really came up with the idea of parting with Borian was not the coach himself, but his assistant Guy Weisinger, the goalkeeping coach. "It is clear that every member of the team has broad authority, and the results they have achieved in Israel support this," it said.
Belgrade is now preparing for the arrival of a foreign goalkeeper, and it is certain that Behar arrived with a list of candidates prepared in advance, otherwise he would not have given up on the captain so soon. The names of Omri Glazer and Daniel Perez have already been mentioned, with the Serbian league having a limit of four foreigners per team, but the media understands that at the moment there are no Serbian goalkeepers of sufficient quality on the market.
