Former Beitar Jerusalem coach Barak Itzhaki has been officially appointed as the new head coach of Cypriot club Anorthosis Famagusta, with reports indicating he will begin his duties immediately. Itzhaki is expected to lead his first training session on Tuesday evening and will be on the sidelines for the team's upcoming match on Saturday.
Anorthosis is currently struggling, with only three points and one goal scored in their last three games, placing them in a relegation battle. Itzhaki's immediate challenge will be to stabilize the team's offense. He is known for his attacking style of football, favoring a 4-3-3 formation, and his strong relationship with fans and the club is seen as a significant asset.
The previous coaching staff will not continue, and Itzhaki is expected to bring his own team. Among the potential candidates for his staff is Borja Llama, who previously coached Hapoel Tel Aviv during their relegation season and served as an assistant to Michael Valkanis.
Looking ahead, Itzhaki will also focus on identifying players who fit the team's needs. President Christos Marangos recently attended a training session, emphasizing that no player's position in the squad is guaranteed and that everyone will be closely evaluated. Itzhaki may also provide opportunities for youth players, particularly in the attacking positions.
