Maccabi Haifa is actively seeking a replacement for former coach Barak Bakhar during the current break in the Israeli Premier League season. The club's objective is to have the new coach lead training sessions upon the return of players currently with national teams. Assistant coach David Merten has been temporarily overseeing the team's training.

Professional manager Lior Refaelov and the club's management are spearheading the search for the new coach. Maccabi Haifa intends to demand that Bakhar's successor compete for domestic titles and secure a spot in European competitions, areas where the team fell short in the previous season. Currently, Maccabi Haifa is seven points behind the league leaders after ten rounds.

Club officials believe that if the new coach can stabilize the defense and reduce the number of goals conceded, the team can still achieve its objectives. The team currently has nine players representing Israel in various national squads. Omri Glazer, Eli Dasa, Noam Steifman, Eitan Azulay, and Yarin Levi are with the senior national team. Adam Grimberg and Mark Golenkov are with the youth national team.

Ali Mohamed played for Niger in their 5-1 loss to Morocco, being substituted at halftime when the score was 3-1. Niger faces Morocco again on Tuesday before Mohamed returns to Israel. Kangi Houra appeared for Curaçao in their 0-0 draw with Panama, entering the game in the 65th minute. Curaçao also has another match against Panama before Houra begins his journey back to Israel.
