Nicolás Tauber (Hebrew: ניקולאס טאובר‎), (born August 20, 1980) is an Argentinian-Israeli footballer currently playing for Chacarita Juniors.

Playing career

During the summer of 2003, 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, he convinced him to make aliyah and join Maccabi Netanya.

On September 13, 2003, Tauber made his league debut in an away fixture against Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv. It wasn't a successful debut as he gave up two goals and Netanya lost their first match of the season. Things did not improve, and the club was relegated by year-end, prompting Tauber to return to Argentina.
