Watford FC manager latest: Tom Cleverley claim Scott Parker boost Shaun Maloney stance.We have some of the latest news on the Hornets’ managerial candidates, with some mixed news breaking.
Watford will be looking to finish as high up the table as possible by recording some promising results between now and the end of the season.
Having previously been in the mix for the play-offs, they fell down to the Championship table, but are in a fairly stable position at this point and aren’t in any real danger of going down.
Key officials behind the scenes at Vicarage Road are already likely to be ramping up their plans for next season, with the Hornets all but guaranteed to remain in the second tier beyond the end of this term.
Clearly, there’s plenty of work to be done in their quest to return to the Premier League at some point, but stability is key and they haven’t had that in recent years with so many managers coming and going.
To their credit, they probably sacked Valerien Ismael at the right time, but this has left a vacancy that needs to be filled once again.
Tom Cleverley is currently in charge on an interim basis – but a big decision on the top job will need to be made in the coming weeks or months and we have the latest news on the Hornets’ managerial situation.
Carlton Palmer on Tom Cleverley’s chances of securing permanent Watford job
Former England international Palmer believes ex-Manchester United midfielder Cleverley isn’t doing his chances of winning the top job permanently any harm at this stage.
Speaking to Football League World, he said: “It’s the way they’re playing. They were two up at West Brom, who are flying.
“It will be interesting to see whether the board see Cleverley as a young coach who can take them where they need to go, which is into the play-offs or even automatic promotion next season.
