Maccabi Haifa considered hiring Romanian coach Edi Iordănescu as a potential replacement for Barak Bakhar, who recently resigned. Iordănescu's last coaching position was with Polish club Legia Warsaw, where he managed for only three months, from June to October 2025. During his tenure with Legia Warsaw, his salary was approximately 600,000 euros, equating to 50,000 euros per month, nearly double the 350,000 euros per season earned by Bakhar. Iordănescu's time at Legia Warsaw began promisingly but ended with only one win in the last six games.
Prior to his brief stint in Poland, Iordănescu coached the Romanian national team for two years. He led Romania to qualification for Euro 2024, a campaign that included two matches against Israel, ending in a 1-1 draw in Romania and a 2-1 victory for Romania in Israel. At Euro 2024, Romania advanced to the round of 16 after defeating Ukraine 3-0, losing to Belgium 2-0, and drawing with Slovakia. They were ultimately eliminated in the round of 16 by the Netherlands, losing 3-0.
