It appears that Technical Director Ben Manga has no future at Watford and will leave the club before the end of the season, or even earlier.
The 49-year-old only joined the Hornets in December 2022, but there were rumblings of discontent behind the scenes as early as January, and certainly by the summer there was talk of him being unlikely to still be at the club by the end of the season.
Manga made a name for himself at Eintracht Frankfurt, initially as chief scout but more recently Director of Professional Football. After that, with the benefit of Manga’s ability to find and attract young talent and also identify players that his coaches needed, Eintracht finished as high as fifth and not lower than 11th.
“I will look at every single department of the club on the sporting side, not only the players but the backroom staff, and see how I can support and develop the club towards a better future.” It was Manga who put out a statement denying that head coach Chris Wilder would leave the club before the end of his pre-agreed 11-game stint at the club at the end of last season.
However, with a clearly limited budget and little scope, Manga may have felt the job description he was sold in 2022 bore little resemblance to the reality he found. “The philosophy he was following was actually very close to the one we are implementing. So I think it was a really good fit. He has a strong knowledge of certain markets and we didn’t have great contacts there.
