Maccabi Haifa says it has started a rebuilding process following a disappointing previous season. In comments attributed to coach Barak Bachar and player Lior Refaelov, the club says it has taken lessons from last year and has refreshed key parts of its operation for the new campaign. According to the reports, Maccabi Haifa has rebuilt elements across the team, including its squad, staff, and training structure. The club’s prior performance is described as challenging: it finishes fifth in league play and does not reach the European qualification places that would have allowed it to compete in continental qualifiers. Both sources present the rebuilding as an effort to address shortcomings from the last season and to prepare for better results going forward. The coverage focuses on the club’s internal changes and its rationale for making them, rather than on specific new signings or detailed tactical plans.
