THANK YOU TAL AND GOOD LUCK!
Maccabi Tel Aviv FC can confirm that after much consideration, the Club will not be offering Tal Ben Haim a contract for the 2018/19 season.
נפרדים מטל בן חיים
Tal began his footballing career at Maccabi Tel Aviv’s Youth Department before progressing through the ranks all the way to the senior side for which he made his full debut against Hapoel Tel Aviv in 2001.
Tal then left Maccabi in 2004 to join Bolton Wanderers before moving to Chelsea, Manchester City, Sunderland, Portsmouth, West Ham, QPR, Standard Liege and Charlton Athletic. After a very successful 11-year-long career abroad, Tal returned to Kiryat Shalom in 2015 . 
Tal has made 112 appearances and scored 1 goal in his second stint at Maccabi and was influential in the teams qualification to the Champions League Group stages. He made a total of 234 appearances for Maccabi scoring 3 goals and winning the League title in the 2002/3 season, 2 State Cups in 2000/01 and 2001/02 as well as 1 Toto Cup in 2017/18.
Everyone at the Club thanks Tal for all of his efforts and professionalism over the last 3 seasons. We all know Tal will continue with his professional career and in all likelihood be involved in football beyond the end of his playing career. Maccabi Tel Aviv FC would like to wish Tal all the very best with his future and look forward to paying tribute to him in the future.
Thank you Tal!

Open Trials at the Youth Department
The Club’s Youth Department held a special day at Kiryat Shalom for aspiring footballers. The professional staff were able to work with over 100 children who came from across the country for the open tryouts that was headed by the Academy’s lead scout Ran Elias.
Performance Director Patrick van Leeuwen stressed the importance of holding these days with the goal of hosting additional trials throughout the year for various age groups.
The day was split into two halves as footballers born between 2009-2011 arrived first as the staff held a training session that was set up specifically for their age group. Later on, those born between 2007-2008 held a separate session as well.
Players who impressed the staff will be contacted in the near future. The open day provided an excellent chance for youngsters from across the country to get a taste of Maccabi Tel Aviv and its values.
Happy Birthday Grzegorz Wedzynsky
At the end of the 1990’s and the early 2000’s Grzegorz Wedzynsky became one of the Maccabi Tel Aviv’s fans favorite foreigners. The Poland native celebrates his 47th birthday today (Monday) and to mark the occasion we looked back at some of his great moments with the club.
Wedzynsky arrived at Kiryat Shalom in the summer of 1999 and added a certain dynamic to the Maccabi midfield as he played as a defensive midfielder, but throughout the season he also played left defensive back. Either way, Wedzynsky had a fantastic shot during his 3 seasons in Yellow & Blue and scored a number of gorgeous goals from outside of the box.
The Polish midfielder also collected a number of titles winning back to back State Cups lifting the trophy in 2000/01 with a 3:0 victory over Maccabi Petah Tikva in Final. The following campaign the Yellow & Blue hoisted the Cup once again and Wedzynsky scored a goal in the 5:1 semifinal win over Hapoel Petah Tikva.
Wedzynsky eventually left Maccabi Tel Aviv but continued to ply his trade in Israel with Ironi Rishon Le’Zion and Ironi Kiryat Shemona.
Trophy Case
State Cup: 2000/01, 2001/02
Appearances: 127
Goals: 11
Blast from the past
In his first season with Maccabi, Grzegorz Wedzynsky scored 5 goals with the first coming against Hapoel Tel Aviv. Ronen Harazi gave the Reds the lead but then the Pole drew the Yellow & Blue even at 1:1. Watch the Goal:

MICHAEL CHILAKA JOINS MACCABI
Maccabi Tel Aviv FC reached an agreement with Maccabi Kabilio Jaffa for the sale of Michael Chilaka and signed a three-year-deal with the Club having an option to extend by a further two more seasons.
The 18-year-old defender, who successfully underwent a medical at the club, made 20 appearances for Kabilio’s first team in the third division, and 27 appearances for the their U-19’s last season. 
Maccabi’s Performance Director Patrick Van Leeuwen, told the club’s official website: “Michael is a player we identified playing senior football as a 17-year-old in the third division and our scouting department has monitored his progress since. We invited him over for trials and he also played a practice match for the U-19’s and impressed. He is a player with good physique and the right mentality who wants to progress his footballing career. We all believe that Michael can do so at Maccabi and play an important role as of next season”.
Maccabi’s CEO Ben Mansford added: “I am delighted that Michael has decided to join Maccabi. Not only is the Youth Department developing our own young talent but continuing to identify the best young players in Israel. Michael spent some time training with us earlier this season and we have continued to monitor his progress. Michael had an excellent season at Kabilio Jaffa and narrowly missed achieving promotion with them. I would like to thank Kabilio Jaffa for their professionalism in the way they conducted the negotiations over Michael and his transfer to us. Welcome to Maccabi Michael!”
