Serbian media outlets have reacted to the resignation of coach Barak Bachar from Maccabi Haifa, labeling his recent tenure a "fiasco." Bachar announced his departure from the Israeli club on Saturday following a significant 4-0 defeat to Maccabi Netanya. His time with Red Star Belgrade, which he coached during the 2023/24 season after a successful period with Maccabi Haifa, has been particularly scrutinized.
Serbian publication novosti reported that Bachar is struggling since leaving the "Marakana" (Red Star Belgrade's stadium). The report noted that while Bachar has won ten titles, his last championship was in 2023, and he has left Maccabi Haifa twice since then. Bachar led Maccabi Haifa to three consecutive league championships before his departure.
Despite Red Star Belgrade currently leading the Serbian league with 13 wins out of 14 games, the team experienced a major disappointment in European competition. They were eliminated by Hapoel Be'er Sheva in the third qualifying round of the Champions League, a result that has amplified criticism of Bachar's coaching.
