A very intriguing move in the Premier League. Michael Ohana, one of the most talented midfielders in Israeli football, is on the verge of signing for Maccabi Netanya next year, with an option for two more years. For Ohana, this will be the fourth team he will play for in Israel, after M.S. Ashdod, Hapoel Beer Sheva and Beitar Jerusalem.
In recent times, coach Benny Lam pressured the professional manager Almog Cohen to sign another player who can play under the striker, and after checking his physical condition and even consulting with professionals who train him on a personal basis, they realized in Netanya that the player is in good physical shape, and after talks that he had two meetings with The professional team, Ohana said that he feels that in Maccabi Netanya he can return to the front of the stage and lead the team to even higher places than last season.
Ohana became a team player in the Ashdod uniform already in the 2014/15 season and immediately stood out as one of the greatest young talents in our football. In 2016, he moved to the Hapoel Be’er Sheva champion in an unprecedented deal, when Alona Barkat paid about 4.5 million NIS for about 50 percent of his ticket. In total, he made 31 appearances in his debut season in the Negev, scored five goals and celebrated winning the championship.
From here, Ohana’s career actually began to decline, mainly due to injuries that disabled him for long periods. In 2019, he moved to Beitar Jerusalem, which paid Be’er Sheva about 1.6 million euros for him. In August, he seriously injured his knee in a game against Be’er Sheva, and again lost a large part of the season. In total, Michael Ohana scored five goals in the league in three seasons in the capital.
