Most managers last on average around a year nowadays but Watford FC have remarkably appointed Slavisa Jokanovic as their 4th manager of the season after just 11 League Games and 7 weeks into the new season.
They started off the season with Giuseppe Sannino who had been in charge since December 2013 but after just 3 weeks of the new season he left Vicarage Road with The Hornets sitting in 2nd after an impressive start, stating there was conflict between him and the players. He is now managing in Italy’s Serie B with Catania.
After him it was the turn of Spaniard and former Brighton Manager Oscar Garcia who only on the touchline in one game because of ongoing health problems, and in the end this forced him to leave the Hertfordshire based side after just 27 days.
The last man who exited the revolving door was Billy Mckinaly who only managed an unbelievable 2 games and 8 days in charge before leaving the club. The former coach at Fulham and Assistant at Northern Ireland said he had been waiting 10 years for his chance in management , sadly his first job didn't last as long as his wait. He did though leave the club with an unbeaten record with 4 points from his 2 games in charge. It is as of yet unclear why he left, there are though rumors linking him with the Fulham job .
The latest man to enter Vicarage Road is Slavisa Jokanovic who comes in from Spanish 3rd division side Hercules. He has been managing sides since 2007 and won back to back titles in Serbia with Partizan Belgrade. The Watford faithful will be hoping his first job in England is a successful one and he lasts longer than the previous 3 men at the helm.
Despite all the behind the scene changes at the club they sit in a very impressive 3rd place in the Championship, level on points with the top two. How the players have handled all the changes in techniques and tactics is enviable, but now they must be hoping for a bit of consistency with Jokanovic in charge. The main question is what is going on behind the scenes at Watford why all these changes?
