Biography
Playing career
In 1988, Maccabi Haifa decided to bring in Jewish players from Argentina since they would qualify as immigrants and not as transfers.[1] The Jewish Agency paid for all travel and even some living expenses for new immigrants, saving the club money.[1] Grimberg was brought in under these circumstances, along with Fabian Lagman and Patricio Sayegh.[1]
