Maccabi reached an agreement with Ivorian outfit Bouake FC for the loan-deal of Abdallah Dao (18) who joined the club until the end of the season with an option to make the deal permanent.
Dao, left a good impression on the Youth Academy’s coaching staff during a short spell at Kiryat Shalom’s training complex and has joined the Youth team squad. Maccabi’s Academy Director, Claudio Braga told the club’s official website: “Abdallah is a talented central defender who left a very good impression on our coaching staff. He trained with us over the past month and we all believe that Abdallah could develop in the Academy and contribute to the club. Joining a club in the middle of the season is not easy but I believe that all the relevant departments will help him settle in fast in order to help his development”.
