Former Beitar Jerusalem coach Barak Itzhaki is on the verge of signing a contract to manage Anorthosis Famagusta in Cyprus, potentially beginning a new chapter in his career. Itzhaki, who concluded his tenure with Beitar Jerusalem in the summer, has been exploring various coaching opportunities. Anorthosis Famagusta reportedly selected Itzhaki due to his recent track record with Beitar Jerusalem, a prominent Israeli club well-known in Cyprus. The Cypriot team was impressed by Itzhaki's ability to lead Beitar Jerusalem to contend for the league championship last season. Anorthosis Famagusta is currently in a precarious position, sitting 13th out of 14 teams in the Cypriot league with only one win in six matches, a situation similar to where Beitar Jerusalem was when Itzhaki took over. Negotiations between Itzhaki and the club are advanced, with most terms agreed upon. The deal is expected to be finalized imminently, possibly as early as tonight or tomorrow. Anorthosis Famagusta recently dismissed their previous coach and are eager for Itzhaki to start as soon as possible to prepare the team for their upcoming Saturday match. The club will be unable to sign new players in the January transfer window due to a penalty.
