Maccabi are today delighted to announce that goalkeeper Daniel Tenenbaum has signed a new one-year-contract extension with an option to extend by another season which should keep him at Maccabi until 2021.

The 23-year-old Brazilian born keeper, who joined Maccabi in 2016 from Flamengo, emigrated to Israel and recently began his military service at the IDF, told the club’s official website: “It is an exciting period of time for me and extending my contract at Maccabi by another season makes it even more special. I will keep on working hard in training in order to improve my abilities as a keeper and be ready for whenever I am called upon”.

Maccabi’s CEO, Ben Mansford, added: “I am pleased that Daniel has committed to a longer term contract at Maccabi. As the season has developed, we have continued to invest in the players for the future. We hope Daniel will be one of those and he will continue to fight with Haviv Ohayon and Daniel Peretz to push Predrag Rajkovic all the way. It is also important that I thank Mitch for his continued support which allows us to secure the best young players for seasons to come. Mitch’s investment in youth will be paramount to the Club succeeding and realizing its aims over the next few seasons. I look forward to seeing Daniel challenge to make his mark in the first team”
