Carlos Garcia (Noam Moreno)
Did you miss Maccabi Tel Aviv fans? Carlos Garcia returns to Israel and this time already as head coach. Betar Tel Aviv / Bat Yam announced today (Friday) that the former Spanish stopper has been appointed as the team’s coach, hoping to keep it in the national league.
If he manages to keep the team in the sub-league, between the parties there will be an option to extend the Spaniard’s contract for another season at the club. Carlos was the assistant to Jordi Cruyff at Maccabi in the 2017/18 season, when the Yellows linked Lior Shechter, the club’s chairman, to Cruyff, who will mediate between the team and the Yellows’ ex from Tel Aviv. Betar Tel Aviv actually wanted the brake of the past already at the beginning of the season, but he held a contract in China and at the end of December the green light was given to the move when the Spaniard announced to Schechter that he was available.
The 37-year-old Garcia, who won three championships and one state cup with Maccabi, replaces Kalmi Saban, another former player of the Yellows, by the way, appointed in place of Eliezer Ben Aharon, who finished his position on November 8 and after 11 rounds. At this point, Betar Tel Aviv / Bat Yam is in 14th place with 16 points after 18 rounds.
