He’s seen managers come and go, looked set to be leaving himself little more than a year ago, but is still the club’s Sporting Director.
Cristiano Giaretta has said very little during his time at Vicarage Road, but often has lots said about him – and much of it is none too complimentary.Rob Edwards was less enthused about having Giaretta around, but after it had appeared he had convinced owner Gino Pozzo to move the Sporting Director on, Giaretta made a return and it was Edwards who was shown the door.“From day one I have been very pleased to work with him.
Ismael was driving recruitment, Giaretta applied the head coach’s criteria to find options, and then when decisions on players were ready to be made the likes of owner Gino Pozzo were involved. “At the end of the day the club were trying to support the manager, while also being stable and building a sustainable club.”
