Maor Bar Buzaglo (Hebrew: מאור בוזגלו; born January 14, 1988) is an Israeli football player who currently plays for Israeli club Hapoel Beer Sheva and Israel national football team.
Buzaglo played for the youth clubs of Maccabi Tel Aviv, Hapoel Tel Aviv and Beitar Jerusalem. In 2002, he went on trial to Juventus and participated in a youth tournament. At this tournament he was scouted by Olympique Lyon with whom he signed. After a year in France he returned to Israel joining Maccabi Haifa.
Buzaglo played two matches for Maccabi Haifa, before being loaned out to Hapoel Petah Tikva for the 2006–07 season. In 21 league matches for the club he scored 5 goals including a hat-trick against Hakoah Amidar Ramat Gan in a 3–2 victory.
Buzaglo spent the following 2007–08 season on loan at newly promoted club Bnei Sakhnin. He scored 9 goals in the season while the club finished 4th in the league earning qualification for the opening rounds of the Intertoto Cup. He was named Discovery of the Year at the end of the season.
On 30 July 2008, Buzaglo left Maccabi Haifa and signed to a four-year contract with Maccabi Tel Aviv after long negotiations between Haifa and his father who is also his agent). In the last game of 2008–09 season Buzaglo tore his knee ligaments forcing him out of action for seven months. He returned midway through the 2009–10 season and went on to score 3 goals and assisting 5. He finished the 2010–11 season with 4 goals. At the end of the 2010–11 season he criticised the club publicly in an interview to the Israeli press which, along with his father's criticism, resulted in a misconduct fine and suspension from the club. On 26 June club owner Mitchell Goldhar announced that Buzaglo would no longer be part of the first-team's plans and instead be placed on the transfer list.
