Maccabi Jaffa Fires Coach Itzik Baruch After Poor Start

Translated & summarized from N12 by baba
The story · English

Maccabi Jaffa has dismissed head coach Itzik Baruch following a dismal start to the season, collecting only three points from a possible twenty-one. Baruch, 54, received the news early Wednesday morning at 7:00 AM. His assistant, Dor Allon, will lead the team's training session on Wednesday.

This marks the third coaching change in the National League this season. Maccabi Jaffa has suffered six losses in their first seven matches, with their sole victory coming against Hapoel Afula. The team currently sits in 15th place, second to last, just above Hapoel Acre.

Coincidentally, Maccabi Jaffa is scheduled to play Hapoel Acre on Thursday evening in a crucial bottom-of-the-table clash, making Baruch's dismissal particularly surprising given the timing. The club's chairman, Eran Cohen, had previously overseen a dramatic squad overhaul, releasing star players and reducing the budget to focus on younger talent after finishing first in the lower playoff bracket last season. This strategy has proven unsuccessful thus far.

Baruch is considered a club legend for Maccabi Jaffa, having managed the team in multiple stints. He was instrumental in guiding the team from Liga Alef to the National League during the 2021/22 season.
