Outgoing Maccabi Haifa coach Barak Bakhar forfeited approximately $200,000 of his salary upon his resignation following the team's loss to Maccabi Netanya. Bakhar, who had one of the most lucrative contracts in the Israeli Premier League, earned 350,000 euros per season. His resignation means he relinquished the proportional part of his salary for the remainder of the season. Despite the forfeiture, sources familiar with the situation believe Maccabi Haifa owner Yaakov Shahar may still compensate Bakhar to some extent out of appreciation for his contributions.
Currently, the highest-paid coach in the Israeli Premier League is Ran Kozuch, earning 100,000 NIS net per month, which amounts to about 300,000 euros annually. Bakhar is expected to spend the rest of the season at home, reassessing his options for the upcoming season.
