Maccabi Haifa announced Sunday the signing of player Eli Dasa on a two-year contract reportedly worth approximately $600,000. Dasa personally managed his negotiations with the club, bypassing agents. The Israeli national team captain informed current Maccabi Haifa players during a training camp that he had interest from both Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Be'er Sheva.
Omri Glazer, Maccabi Haifa's goalkeeper and Dasa's national team colleague, was instrumental in convincing Dasa to sign with Haifa. Glazer himself had returned to the club from abroad earlier in the season. Maccabi Haifa was aware of Hapoel Be'er Sheva's interest, which accelerated their pursuit of Dasa after he received no attractive offers from overseas clubs.
The club sought to acquire Dasa for his experience and leadership. Coach Barak Bakhar plans to utilize Yilaile Baitaye in a rotating role at left-back, a position previously held by Dasa. Baitaye may also play at left-back, with Dasa potentially shifting to the left side from his usual right-back position.
