Daniel Alberto Brailovsky Poliak (Hebrew: אלברטו דניאל בריילובסקי, sometimes spelled Brailovski, born November 18, 1958) is an Argentine-born Israeli former professional footballer and manager.
He was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and is Jewish.[1] Though he was born and raised in Argentina, he only played officially for the Israel national team. He had previously represented Uruguay at the youth level as well as Argentina.
Playing career
[edit]The game ended 1–0 to Ferro.
In 1982, he signed with Mexican Club América, and helped Las Águilas to win three championships. Those championships were the 1983–1984 season (when defeated Chivas Guadalajara), then the 1984–1985 (when defeated UNAM Pumas in a controversial decisive 3rd match held in Santiago de Querétaro), his last one with the team was the 1985 summer tournament once known as the " Prode '85 "- a short tournament where they defeat the then team known as los Jaibos Tampico Madero.
After the earthquake suffered by Mexico in 1985, his wife was afraid something worse might happen, so Brailovsky left the country without notifying Club América officials. As a result he was suspended for breach of contract by America for about a year with FIFA's consent. He then immigrated to Israel and joined Maccabi Haifa.[2] He was capped 18 times for Israel from 1986 to 1988, scoring three international goals during his career. He said about living in Israel, "I have played in Argentina, Mexico, Uruguay and Israel, but only Israel feels like home."[3]
