Maccabi Haifa coach Barak Bakhar surprised Israeli football fans on Saturday by announcing his resignation live on air following the team's 4-0 defeat to Maccabi Netanya. The team is now searching for a new manager.
On Sunday, ahead of the match between Hapoel Tel Aviv and Hapoel Be'er Sheva, sports channel commentators discussed potential successors for the "Greens." Former player Itay Shechter suggested an unconventional choice: Dekel Keinan.
Shechter argued that Keinan's lack of extensive coaching experience should not be a barrier, citing the example of Diego Flores, who was hired despite minimal prior coaching roles. Shechter also mentioned other potential candidates like Barak Yitzhaki, Roni Levy, Ran Kochav, and Eliniv Barda, but noted they are currently employed by other clubs.
