Market7 Sep 2026

So close: Régis N'do’s move dies late

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. Maccabi Tel Aviv moved on, Régis N'do reports back to Hapoel Haifa, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Hapoel Haifa close the window on a squad of their own making

16 in and 0 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Taofeek Otaniyi arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Taofeek Otaniyi has, at Hapoel Haifa, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Régis N'do falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad7 Sep 2026

A falling-out at Hapoel Haifa

Itay Ben-Hemo and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Too much change too quickly at Hapoel Haifa

11 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

Hapoel Haifa ask about Amit Cohen

A loan enquiry to Maccabi Netanya: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

The dugout7 Sep 2026

Naor Sabag asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Looking ahead7 Sep 2026

Willy Agada faces his old club

Maccabi Tel Aviv next, and one man in the Hapoel Haifa dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Market31 Aug 2026

Naor Sabag puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Hapoel Haifa, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market31 Aug 2026

Maccabi Tel Aviv watching Régis N'do

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Hapoel Haifa have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Hapoel Haifa rebuffed over Victor Aznar

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Cádiz have kept their man, and Hapoel Haifa go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match29 Aug 2026

Hapoel Haifa come up short against Bnei Sakhnin

Bnei Sakhnin left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Yoav Gerafi

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad31 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Hapoel Haifa

Roei Zikri and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑2 defeat, delivered by Tomer Shechter to a room that had heard them before.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

The afternoon ran through Liran Rotman

Chances created: 9. Nothing on the scoresheet and everything in the match: the pass before the pass, over and over, until the defence stopped guessing right.

Market31 Aug 2026

The Dario Župarić talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Hapoel Haifa know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
