Maccabi Haifa is encountering a significant obstacle in their pursuit of coach Barak Yitzhaki, who is seen as the leading candidate to replace departing manager Barak Bakhar. Yitzhaki's release clause, allowing him to move to an Israeli club, is only valid during the summer transfer window. Therefore, if Maccabi Haifa wishes to sign him before then, they must negotiate directly with his current Cypriot team, Anorthosis.
While no official contact has been made yet, it's understood that Haifa cannot unilaterally activate Yitzhaki's release clause during the current season. Should they decide to proceed with signing him immediately, they will need to reach a financial agreement with Anorthosis for his early release. This means Haifa may have to compensate the Cypriot club financially if they want to bring Yitzhaki to their facilities sooner rather than later.
Meanwhile, Yitzhaki is reportedly focused on his current professional duties with his Cypriot team, aiming to shield his players from the speculation surrounding his future in Israel. He is expected to manage his team's upcoming match in the Cypriot league. Maccabi Haifa must quickly decide whether to enter negotiations with Anorthosis, understanding the financial implications, or to explore alternative candidates. If Yitzhaki is no longer an option, Omer Peretz and Ofir Haim are considered the primary alternatives.
