Former Beitar Jerusalem coach Barak Yitzhaki is embarking on a new chapter in his career, set to manage the Cypriot club Anorthosis. Yitzhaki is expected to arrive in Cyprus on Tuesday to finalize the details of his contract with the team, which is currently at the bottom of the Cypriot league.
According to Cypriot media reports, Yitzhaki's contract is guaranteed for two years, with his salary for the remainder of the current season estimated at 120,000 euros, including additional clauses. Anorthosis, despite its league standing, is described as a club with significant financial resources. Yitzhaki's primary objective for this season is to keep the team in the league, a challenging task given a transfer ban imposed on the club until the end of the season. Should he succeed, he will be allocated a substantial budget to strengthen the squad with the aim of competing for the championship next season.
Yitzhaki decided to take on this challenge in Cyprus after realizing that opportunities with major Israeli clubs were not available following the start of the season. He was eager to coach and did not want to wait. He has positive memories of living in Cyprus as a player and is familiar with the environment.
A notable aspect of the agreement is a potential exit clause for Yitzhaki, which would involve a compensation payment. Sources indicate this clause is being included to allow Yitzhaki the flexibility to pursue other opportunities should they arise, as he anticipates potential openings with other clubs in the future. Yitzhaki will initially travel alone, but it is expected he will later be joined by a trusted Israeli assistant coach.
