Pierre Cornud breaks a bone — 47 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 47 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

A brace, and Đorđe Jovanović takes the afternoon — 8.25

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Đorđe Jovanović provided it, and the 8.25 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

The terraces31 Aug 2026

The ground has had enough

“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 7 of the 26 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

Cédric Don in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Maccabi Haifa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Đorđe Jovanović’s goal not enough for Maccabi Haifa

Đorđe Jovanović scored, and precious little else went right: 2‑3 to Maccabi Tel Aviv, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Manuel Benson 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.

Squad31 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Souffian El Karouani

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Souffian El Karouani, and the manager let it.

Nobody could get near Dolev Haziza

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The one thing Bruninho could not do

Shots: 4, enough of them from close enough that a striker in form scores two. He is not a striker in form.

Pierre Cornud breaks a bone — 54 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 54 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Maccabi Haifa say no — this time

The offer from Maccabi Tel Aviv for Manuel Benson was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Souffian El Karouani gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Souffian El Karouani has just signed for Maccabi Haifa, and for once the answer mattered.

Market24 Aug 2026

Zohar Zasano asks to leave Maccabi Haifa

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Maccabi Haifa sell Yair Mordechai for $1.4M

Yair Mordechai has left for Hapoel Haifa in a $1.4M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Boardroom24 Aug 2026

Graduation day at Maccabi Haifa

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Pierre Cornud breaks a bone — 61 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 61 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

A move Samuel Silvera would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Samuel Silvera is living that version at Maccabi Haifa, and it tends to show in the first month.

Tempers go at Maccabi Haifa

Jelle Bataille was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Kenji Gorré is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Maccabi Haifa has been clear about where Kenji Gorré stands, which is more than many ever get.

A fracture rules Pierre Cornud out for 68 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Maccabi Haifa will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Maccabi Haifa say no — this time

The offer from Hapoel Beer Sheva for Cédric Don was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Pierre Cornud signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Pierre Cornud and Maccabi Haifa agree another 3 years.

Maccabi Petach Tikva are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Maccabi Haifa will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Maccabi Haifa may not be able to give Bruninho what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Bruninho wants continental football; whether Maccabi Haifa can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Jelle Bataille signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jelle Bataille commits to Maccabi Haifa for another 4 years.

Eyes on Silva Kani again

The phone has started ringing about Silva Kani again, and this time the name on the line is Maccabi Petach Tikva. Maccabi Haifa are listening politely and promising nothing.

Words at Maccabi Haifa training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Manuel Benson is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Talks stall between Maccabi Haifa and Abdoulaye Seck

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.
