Maccabi Haifa Working on New Long-Term Deal for Yarin Levi
Maccabi Haifa begins preparations for the 2026/27 season on Tuesday, with Barak Bakhar leading his first training session with the club’s new staff. Assistant coach David Marten and fitness coach Lidor Ganon are making their debuts, while fitness coach Gal Veknin is returning to the senior team.
The main player story is Yarin Levi, who is back in green after two seasons at Beitar Jerusalem. Haifa had been waiting for his return and is now working with him on a new contract in an effort to keep him at the club for as long as possible.
Another notable name is Yair Mordechai, the Kiryat Shmona winger, who will also take part in his first training session and is currently the only signing at Mount Carmel. Dolev Haziza is expected to arrive at Kfar Galim and see his teammates for the first time since being informed he is not part of the professional plans, as previously reported by Channel 5.
Some players will join training later, giving Bakhar a chance to evaluate loaned-out players and members of the youth team.
