Barak Yitzhaki Nears Deal to Coach Cyprus Club Anorthosis
Translated & summarized from 0404 by baba
Israeli coach Barak Yitzhaki is close to signing a two-year deal with Cypriot club Anorthosis Famagusta, where he will earn about 90,000 shekels net monthly. The 42-year-old's appointment comes after the team's poor start to the season, with only one win in six games. Anorthosis is also under a FIFA transfer ban, meaning Yitzhaki will likely have to work with the existing squad. Yitzhaki previously played for Anorthosis in the 2012/13 season.

- Barak Yitzhaki is set to sign a two-year contract with Cypriot club Anorthosis Famagusta.
- Yitzhaki will reportedly earn around 90,000 shekels net per month.
- Anorthosis is currently 13th in the league after a poor start with one win in six games.

Israeli coach Barak Yitzhaki, 42, is nearing an agreement to manage Anorthosis Famagusta in the Cypriot league, signing a two-year contract through the summer of 2028. The official signing is expected soon, with the club eager for him to start as soon as possible. Under the tentative deal, Yitzhaki would earn approximately 90,000 shekels net per month, about 20,000 shekels more than a previous offer from Beitar Jerusalem. This marks his first opportunity to lead a team outside of Israel as head coach.
Anorthosis has had a disappointing start to the season, with one win and five losses in their first six matches, placing them 13th out of 14 teams. The club has scored only four goals and conceded 13, prompting the management to seek a coaching change.
Adding to the challenge, Anorthosis faces a FIFA transfer ban, preventing them from signing new players in the next two transfer windows due to outstanding debts. Yitzhaki may have to work with the current squad unless the financial issues are resolved.
For Yitzhaki, this move represents a full circle, as he played for Anorthosis on loan from Maccabi Tel Aviv during the 2012/13 season, making 23 appearances. He is now set to return to the club with the goal of leading its recovery.
