Amos Sassi (Hebrew: עמוס סאסי, born 29 January 1979) is an Israeli former professional footballer who played as a left-back.[2]

Career

Sassi 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 Shlomi Dahan.

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. After a short period in Haifa, Sassi moved to Maccabi Netanya and in 2005 he retired after an unsuccessful spell with Ironi Nir Ramat HaSharon.

In 2024, Amos is expected to participate in the popular Israeli TV show 'The Big Brother,' where he anticipates regaining public attention, according to his own words.
