Ben has been a part of senior management during his two spells at Maccabi, between June 2017 and October 2019 and then returning in June 2023. He worked closely with Jack Angelides and Owner Mitch Goldhar helping to manage the club through a variety of challenges, including many successes, difficult periods, and transitions. During his time at Maccabi, the Club achieved championships in the 2018/2019, 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 seasons.
Ben’s passion for football is his hallmark and has propelled his contributions in both the Academy and Senior Team. He embraced the Club and truly became part of the Maccabi family.
Maccabi’s Owner Mitch Goldhar, said: “I remember first meeting Ben in 2017. I saw a young ambitious individual with energy and enthusiasm which would lead to his first venture abroad, adapt to a new culture and undertake the targets set for the Club. I am grateful to him and his family for his strong support for the Club, particularly the last few years which at times have been very challenging. Above all Ben is a good person. We wish him well.”
Maccabi CEO Jack Angelides said: “I enjoyed working with Ben throughout his tenure at the Club spending a great deal of time together in which we encountered demanding situations as well as amazing achievements. Ben has done a great job, he has made many friends both within and outside the Club and knows that he will always be welcome.”
Ben Mansford said: “The last three seasons have been an incredible journey and demanding both on and off the pitch. I’m extremely proud to have been part of a remarkable group of staff, players, and partners who, among many achievements, delivered the club’s 25th Championship and fifth star, while continuing to represent Maccabi in Europe and standing by our community through the most challenging of times.Now feels like the right time to take a step back.
I’d like to thank the fans for their support during both periods at the Club. My special thanks go to Jack for his constant counsel and guidance throughout.
Finally, my biggest thank you goes to Mitch for giving me the opportunity to become a true Maccabist, and for all the memories this journey has allowed Beth, Noa, Etta, and me to create.
Yalla Maccabi!”
