Watford challenge Real Madrid for ‘most managers in a decade’ title

Watford Gap year...

If someone approaches you about the Watford manager’s job, don’t bother looking at houses in the area…

Even promotion to the Premier League is no guarantee of job security for Slavisa Jokanovic, with reports claiming the Serb could soon be leaving Vicarage Road.

Jokanovic was one of four managers to lead the club out last season, after Beppe Sannino, Oscar Garcia and Billy McKinlay, but is out of contract this summer.

JOE suspects that Watford owner Gino Pozzo is preparing to part ways with Jokanovic as part of a long-running contest with his various rivals at Real Madrid to hire and fire the most managers in the shortest spell.

Carlo Ancelotti’s dismissal over the weekend made him the eighth manager to depart the Bernabeu in the last decade, while Jokanovic’s exit brings Watford’s total to nine over the same period. All that’s left now is a race to La Decima.
