In his quest for maintenance, Watford made a surprising decision: to part ways with his coach, Nigel Pearson, with two days remaining. With three small points ahead of the red zone, the future of the Hornets in the Premier League is in danger, especially since it remains to play against Manchester City and Arsenal. It is Hayden Mullins who will take over the interim at the end of the season, before looking into the identity of the next coach.
And according to the Daily Mail, the London suburban club would think of Claude Puel, yet still under contract with AS Saint-Étienne. Watford would like to snatch the former coach of Southampton and Leicester from the Greens for whom the Coupe de France final against PSG is crucial: a victory would qualify ASSE in the Europa League.
