- Adham Haddia is in advanced negotiations to become the new coach.

- The owner expressed confidence in finalizing the deal with Haddia.
Maccabi Ahi Nazareth has fired coach Alaa Saayeg, following a second consecutive loss, a 2-1 defeat to Ironi Modi'in on Thursday. The team currently sits in 13th place in the National League with 7 points after 8 rounds. Saayeg had led the team up from Liga Alef North last season.
Expected to replace Saayeg is Adham Haddia, who is in advanced negotiations with the club. Haddia recently resigned from Hapoel Acre after the second round of the season. This move contributes to a new record for coaching changes in the National League, with five coaches having already resigned or been fired after just 8 rounds: Haddia (Hapoel Acre), Shahar Weizinger (Hapoel Kfar Saba), Itzik Baruch (Maccabi Yafo), Lior Reuven (Bnei Raina), and now Saayeg.
Maccabi Ahi Nazareth owner Maher Hamed expressed confidence that the deal with Haddia would be finalized soon, stating, "I believe we will sort this out in the coming hours and Adham will coach the team. We want him."
