control vs charge

Our boss just announced that Alex is no longer [in charge of/ in control of] his team.

Is there any difference between 'in charge' and 'in control'?

Thanks in advance!

Hello again New2,

If you are no longer in charge of a team, you no longer officially direct the operations of the team.

If you are no longer in control of a team, you are no longer able to direct the operations of the team – perhaps because no one is listening to your instructions; or perhaps because a more forceful character has usurped your authority.

Best wishe
