Overview

  • Sky Sports reports Watford expect to part ways with Paulo Pezzolano after about five months and 10 games, with no official announcement yet.
  • Watford sit 11th in the Championship with a 3-3-3 league record, three points off the play-off places.
  • Javi Gracia is widely reported as the leading candidate to return, having previously won 25 of 66 games and reached the 2019 FA Cup final.
  • Results have improved recently with seven points from the last three league matches, including a 2-1 win over Oxford.
  • Fan dissatisfaction and the club’s rapid managerial turnover under Gino Pozzo frame the move, and Pezzolano’s reign could rank among the shortest in Watford’s history.
