Ironi Kiryat Shmona continues to strengthen for the upcoming season and is expected to complete the loan of Maccabi Haifa’s winger, Timothy Mozzi, today (Monday), until the end of the season. Mozi was in demand in the past in the northern team and Hapoel Hadera during Menachem Koretzky’s time, now the coach of KS. He even played for Ravid Gazel in Hapoel Kfar Saba. The 21-year-old Mozi was loaned to Nouf HaGilil last season and scored one league goal in the ranks of the relegated Leumit.
In the meantime, despite the initial diagnosis of Dziogas Bartakos’ injury and his absence from the team for at least a month, they are optimistic that he will be back between the posts before then and will be fit for the start of the league. Bartakus is very significant for KS and the club’s medical team will work to train him as soon as possible. Until then, assistant goalkeeper Nadav Zamir will start between the posts.
Koretsky, his assistant Ravid Gazel and fitness coach David Bobalil arrived last night at the Holy Ari mikvah and were baptized in it before the start of the league.
