Maccabi Haifa has signed Israeli national team captain Eli Dasa to a two-year contract, adding him to the team immediately. Dasa, who can play both right-back and center-back, is expected to bolster the team's defense under coach Barak Bakhar.
Dasa's arrival creates a complex situation for Maccabi Haifa's defense, which already features several foreign players. Current right-back Yila Bataay has been a consistent starter, playing every minute of the last two games, with Iyad Halaili as his backup. In the center-back position, the team signed two foreign players this summer, Wanderson Tsunami and Nigel Lonwijk. Nawam Steifman is also expected to start at center-back, while another foreign defender, Pedrão, has been on the bench.
The team currently has eight foreign players, the maximum allowed, with four of them in defensive roles. This situation suggests that Maccabi Haifa might make further adjustments to its lineup to accommodate Dasa and manage the foreign player limit.
