Yoav Ziv

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yoav Ziv (Hebrew: יואב זיו) (born March 16, 1981) in Haifa is an Israeli football player.

He started playing for Maccabi Haifa in the Youth level. He later played with Hapoel Haifa and Hapoel Nazareth Illit with which he promoted from Liga Leumit to the Israeli Premier League.

In 2006 he moved to Beitar Jerusalem and established himself as a fan favourite, being able to play in both wings or both fullback positions, and even as a Central defender. This came as a surprise since in Nazareth Ziv played as a striker.

Before the 2006/2007 seasons there were rumors that Ossie Ardiles might let Ziv go or that Ziv's role will diminish. Under Manager Yossi Mizrahi though, Yoav Ziv regained his status and became a more regular player in the starting lineup playing as the right wingback.
