Defender Idan Nahmias Returns to Israel to Play for Hapoel Be'er Sheva

Israeli football defender Idan Nahmias has returned to Israel to play for Hapoel Be'er Sheva, citing his desire to work with coach Ran Kozuch. Nahmias, 29, recently started his second consecutive league match for Be'er Sheva against his former team, Ironi Kiryat Shmona, in a 1-0 victory where the team kept a clean sheet.

Nahmias expressed his satisfaction with the reception he has received, stating, "I came back from abroad to work with Ran Kozuch and the staff. They received me very nicely, I am waiting for what's next. I saw how Ran's teams play and wanted to work with him." He added confidence in his new team's prospects, saying, "We are sure we can fight with Maccabi Tel Aviv, there are still thirty rounds to go. Obviously, we can."

In the recent match against Kiryat Shmona, Nahmias demonstrated strong performance, winning 4 out of 5 duels, recovering three balls, and completing 81 out of 89 passes, with 20 of those in the opponent's half. He also provided a key pass. This marks his continued adaptation to playing in Israel after his time abroad.
