Ynet spoke with Maccabi Netanya great Beni Lam and his son Adam about football, family influence and coaching careers.
Published:
Beni Lam, a celebrated former Maccabi Netanya player and the club’s current youth academy director, and his son Adam spoke to Ynet about how a family football legacy developed into separate professional paths.
Adam Lam, now coaching Hapoel Ra’anana, said his father never gave him preferential treatment. Beni even declined to appoint him in Netanya’s youth system because of the potential conflict and justified criticism.
Beni described his long-standing focus on developing young players, while Adam outlined an ambitious, pressing style of football. The article is a family and career profile, not an announcement of a new Maccabi Netanya appointment.
