Watford head coach Valerien Ismael has tonight been sacked and Tom Cleverley will assume the position of interim manager.
Today’s 2-1 home defeat to Coventry proved to be the breaking point for the Hornets, and they announced the changes just after 10pm this evening.
In a brief statement, the club said: “Tom Cleverley will assume the position of Interim Head Coach at Vicarage Road.
“This follows Watford FC terminating the contract of Valérien Ismaël after today's home defeat to Coventry City.
“The Hornets thank Valérien and his staff for their dedication and commitment, however the club's Board considers it an appropriate time to make a change in order to improve results.
“Tom Cleverley's staff will be confirmed in due course.”
