Nicolás Tauber (Hebrew: ניקולאס טאובר; born August 20, 1980) is a retired Argentine-Israeli footballer.^[1]

Playing career

During 2003 the former Maccabi Netanya manager, Gili Landau, spotted Nicolás during a scouting tour of Argentina. After discovering that Tauber was in fact Jewish and eligible for Israeli citizenship under the Law of Return, he convinced him to move to Israel and join Maccabi Netanya.

On September 13, 2003, Tauber made his league debut in an away fixture against Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv. He gave up two goals and Netanya lost their first match of the season. Tauber eventually returned to Argentina.
