Guy Luzon (Hebrew: גיא לוזון; born 7 August 1975) is an Israeli former footballer and current manager. He is currently the coach of Maccabi Haifa.
Guy Luzon was a graduate of the Maccabi Petah Tikva youth program, joining Maccabi Petah Tikva at the age of 10. Luzon started playing for the first team at the age of 18, making his debut against Beitar Tel Aviv in 1992. He played for Maccabi Petah Tikva for 3 years, until an injury caused by Jan Talesnikov caused him to retire at the age of 21 in 1996.
After Luzon's forced retirement from football, he was offered a job to coach the Maccabi Petah Tikva youth team, under head coach Eli Ohana. Luzon took over as manager after Ohana in the 2001–02 Israeli Premier League season, leading Maccabi to finish in 8th place. Luzon's biggest success at Maccabi was winning the Toto Cup in 2004 along with placing second in the 2004–05 Israeli Premier League and qualifying for the UEFA Cup 2nd Qualifying Round. Luzon was appointed by Hapoel Tel Aviv before the beginning of the 2007–08 Israeli Premier League season, however he resigned on November 25, 2007 when Hapoel was bottom of the league with only 6 points. Luzon returned to coach Maccabi Petah Tikva, however he resigned after only a few months, on April 6, 2008, because of several losses. On June 12, 2008, Luzon was appointed as manager of Bnei Yehuda, leading them to the 2009–10 UEFA Europa League, where they had several victories before being knocked out by PSV Eindhoven in the play-off round.
