† Appearances (goals)

Shlomi Dahan (Hebrew: שלומי דהאן, born 30 September 1979) is a former Israeli footballer who now works as a manager. Dahan is often referred to as one of Israel's greatest wastes of talent and was the subject of a documentary in Israel on why Israel has yet to produce quality footballers and the hardships they face in improving in the Israeli system of football.

Playing career

Dahan was a product of the Maccabi Netanya youth system where he managed to catch the eye of a scout from German club Borussia Dortmund. He left Netanya for Dortmund along with Amos Sassi where the two enjoyed great success even capturing a world title in a tournament for ORT high schools.

Both Dahan and Sassi excelled at Dortmund, even taking the German youth championship while there.[3] But in order to be able to play for Israel's full national team, they had to complete their mandatory service in the Israel Defense Forces. Both were loaned out to Maccabi Haifa where they languished on the bench. He later moved to Maccabi Netanya helping them win promotion to the first league in 1999.

In 2006 Dahan moved to Beitar Shimshon Tel Aviv and played there for 5 seasons helping the team win promotion to Liga Leumit in 2008-09. He was also a part of the shcoking State Cup win against Maccabi Tel Aviv that took place in February 26, 2008.[4]

In September 2011 he moved to Maccabi Daliyat al-Karmel from Liga Alef (North).

In November 2011 after only two months with Daliyat al-Karmel he made a move to Maccabi Ironi Kfar Yona from the bottom of Liga Alef (South).
