Maccabi Haifa have found a replacement for Pierre Cornot: in the shadow of the departure of the excellent left-back to Saint-Etienne, the Greens announced today (Thursday) that Vital Ansimba, who recently finished his career at Bordeaux, has been sent for two a year with him.
“I am very happy and proud to be here,” the acquired player, who will wear shirt number 14, told the official website “Maccabi Haifa is a big club, when I arrived and I came here I felt the good energy I hope I will start connecting with my partners and their followers.
According to reports in France, Ansimba had another offer – from Paris FC, also from the French junior league – but preferred the offer from the Greens. The 31-year-old defender, who made two previous appearances for the national team of the Democratic Republic of Congo, is from Angola, who played his entire career in France, mainly in the lower leagues until the break-up. In 2022, when his contract in Clermont expired, he moved to Bordeaux and recently became a free agent in light of Bordeaux’s bankruptcy – not coincidentally, Jean Marcelin, who signed with Beitar Jerusalem, and Sosoko, who moved to Maccabi Tel Aviv, who had already arrived in Israel. Winger Jeremy Leboulan was mentioned as a candidate for Maccabi Haifa.

In the first season in Bordeaux he scored one goal and assisted another nine goals in 31 appearances in “Ligue 2”, in the last season he declined and recorded one goal and one assist in 26 games, a decrease that also came after two games. injuries that disabled him for several weeks.
