Watford FC confirms the departure of Technical Director Ben Manga.
The club thanks Ben and his team for their contribution during the duration of their tenure, and offers its best wishes for the future.
As has been made clear at fans’ Q&As this season, as well as in Chairman & CEO Scott Duxbury’s match programme notes, Head Coach Valérien Ismaël has a wider managerial remit to influence the footballing set-up around him.
“It was more a case of how we wanted to work, rather than anything to do with the people,” Ismaël explained, when asked about Manga’s departure by The Watford Observer for an interview soon to be published.
“If you see something isn’t working out, for any reason, then you have to take a decision that you believe is the best for the club.”
He added: “When you assess the situation, from the inside, this was the next step in the process of change.”
