Barak Itzhaki's signing with Anorthosis Famagusta in Cyprus makes him the highest-paid Israeli coach. Itzhaki will earn 140,000 shekels net per month (40,000 euros net) with the Cypriot club, significantly more than his previous potential contract negotiations with Beitar Jerusalem, which were around 75,000 shekels net monthly.

This new salary places Itzhaki above other top Israeli coaches. For comparison, Barak Bakhar earns 110,000 shekels net monthly, Ran Kochav earns 100,000 shekels net monthly, Eliniv Barda earns 90,000 shekels net monthly, and Almog Cohen earns 80,000 shekels net monthly. These figures do not include potential bonuses, especially for Cohen, who also holds a professional manager role.

Itzhaki has signed a two-year contract with Anorthosis Famagusta. In addition to his base salary, the contract includes bonuses for achievements such as reaching the upper playoff, along with various expense reimbursements. However, his base salary alone solidifies his position as the highest-earning Israeli coach.

Itzhaki was set to conduct his second training session with Anorthosis on October 20th, aiming to familiarize himself further with the players. Despite being new to the team, sources close to him indicate he has already reviewed all of the club's league matches and possesses a thorough understanding of the squad.
