Serbian media outlets have reacted to the resignation of coach Barak Bakhar from Maccabi Haifa, labeling his recent tenure as a "fiasco." Bakhar announced his departure from the Israeli club on Saturday after a significant 4-0 loss to Maccabi Netanya. His time with Red Star Belgrade, which he coached during the 2023/24 season following three championship titles with Maccabi Haifa, has been heavily scrutinized.
Serbian publication novosti reported, "It's a fiasco. Barak Bakhar has ended his role; he has struggled since leaving the Marakana." The report noted that while Bakhar has won ten titles, his last one was in 2023, and he has left Haifa twice since then. This statement appears to be a misinterpretation or misstatement within the original article, as Bakhar's departure from Maccabi Haifa is presented as his most recent move.
Despite Red Star Belgrade leading the Serbian league with 13 wins out of 14 games, the team experienced a major disappointment in European competition, being eliminated by Hapoel Be'er Sheva in the third qualifying round of the Champions League. Bakhar had previously led Maccabi Haifa to three consecutive league titles before his departure.
