The resignation of Yossi Aboksis from Hapoel Beer Sheva flooded the professional involvement of owner Alona Barkat in the club. The coach who left after a year despite winning the trophy and participating in the home leg of the Europa League, said goodbye to the Reds bitterly with mutual bites between the sides. Among other things, he claimed a lack of transparency on the part of Barkat, who according to him: “was looking for other coaches in his place.” Today (Tuesday) the club’s former goalkeeper, Guy Haimov, Criticized Barkat’s conduct at the club in an interview with 5 on the air.
“Everyone in the PA knows what’s going on there,” Haimov said. “Some are afraid to speak, some give respect to the club. The owner of the century has the opinion, but it’s all a matter of attitude. “I had a conversation with Asi Rahamim after the third championship,” the goalkeeper said of how he left BS in 2018, “he told me there was nothing on the agenda, even though I saw the red lights that indicated they did not want me. I expected them to tell me the The truth. “
“In 2012, when I was at Maccabi Tel Aviv, Jordi Cruyff told me that he wanted to bring in a foreign goalkeeper and that I would decide what to do. He told me everything inside. At Maccabi Haifa, Yankele Shachar does not interfere in anything. He wants to know and hear, but not beyond, “Haimov said of the way he worked for the rival to the top.” The problem in BS is in the conduct, there was a lack of communication between me and Alona. “But they were not transparent with me. You can come and say you are not suitable and we do not want you.”
“Alona may not like me but she hurt my wife and my children and at that moment I did not stay. They had to move from school to school, take care of moving and it could have been prevented. It was a red line for me,” the former goalkeeper attacked, “They sent me more “After that, messages that I would stay and I decided that it would not happen. Barkat mixed the professional aspect with the personal aspect. Alona’s failure to shake hands probably ruined my law.”
“Barak Bachar told me that he was a partner in the decision, but said that it was not up to him,” Haimov continued, “The professional team did not support this move, maybe Bachar could have fought for me more. It was an unequivocal decision by Alona Barkat. “A professional or a coach signs players. Everyone knew that Alona is involved in professional matters and that is legitimate, but there is a certain line where the coach has to do his job.”
“Ego is the biggest disease and you have to be careful about it. This team did three crazy seasons with championships in a row. After I left BS’s locker room it was very problematic, according to what I heard from my friends who stayed there. The players were not cohesive. ”
Beyond BS, Haimov, who recently retired, commented on life after football: “I am starting to do zoom lectures in schools on the subject of a child’s coping in the world of sports. I miss the atmosphere on the pitch, there is no crowd, which is why I do not miss football so much. I lost my place at Maccabi Haifa and the injury, which was serious, disrupted me. I wanted to go back, but reality determined that my shoulder was not strong enough. Life is before me and it was a health decision first and foremost, for me and for my family. ”
