Hapoel Tel Aviv is set to exercise its option to extend the contract of coach Eliniv Barda for an additional two years, solidifying his position at the club. Barda, who joined the team when it was in the National League and helped lead its ascent to the top tier of Israeli football, is highly regarded within the club.
Club officials view Barda as the central figure in their ongoing project, which is still far from complete. His strong relationships with all club stakeholders and his leadership are considered crucial for the team's future development. Despite past speculation linking him to coaching positions in Belgium, where he had a notable playing career, Barda is expected to remain in Israel.
The club is also planning to extend the contracts of key players, including Assaf Tzur, Fernand Mayembo, and Markus Coco. Regarding foreign players, Chico, Falcao, Adrian Cuevas, and Yannick Lellind are already under contract for the upcoming season. However, the contracts of Coco, Boateng, and Mayembo are set to expire, with Hapoel Tel Aviv holding an option on Boateng.
This decision follows Hapoel Tel Aviv's recent 2-1 victory over Maccabi Haifa in the ninth round of the Premier League, which has prompted the club to focus on retaining its core players and staff for the next season.
