Maccabi Tel Aviv would like to thank Ben Mansford for his hard work and dedication over the last 2 seasons as well as his contribution to the Club’s success on and off the field. Ben played an instrumental role in many aspects including his managing Financial Fair Play matters
Owner, Mitch Goldhar, stated: “The Club is sympathetic to Ben’s personal circumstances requiring him to return home at the end of the month. Ben’s passion for football was clear to all who met him and who saw him at football games up and down the country involving all age groups. Ben made many friends during his time in Israel. He won the respect of many people and was appreciated for his genuine Northern English charm. We wish Ben good luck and we look forward to him visiting us in the future where he will always receive a warm welcome”.
Ben Mansford, added: “It is with a heavy heart that I leave Maccabi to return to the UK. I have greatly enjoyed my time as part of the Maccabi family. I’d like to say a huge thank you to the best supporters in Israel who have made my wife and I welcome from the first day. You left me in awe time and time again. To all the staff, players and stakeholders, thank you for your commitment and dedication. 
A special thank you to Sharon, Tomer, Yael, Vlada, Barak and Moran for your constant support. The biggest thank you must go to Jack Angelides and Mitch Goldhar for giving me an opportunity of a lifetime and for one I am truly grateful for. Mitch’s message of not cutting corners, attention to detail and always giving everything in the pursuit of excellence resonated with me and ultimately made me understand what it is to be Maccabi. I am very proud of winning the title last season in record breaking style. The color Yellow and number 23 and I will forever be etched in my memory and my heart. I wish this amazing Club and Squad all the very best for the future”.
