managerial drama watford It has always been a strange watch and now it is about to take a new turn.
Ed Still was removed from his post last month after less than two months in charge. He was the Hornets' third manager of the campaign and instability played a role in a disappointing 16th-place finish.
The Pozo family are no strangers to making tough decisions, but would ideally like to move up the table in the upcoming season.
The next candidate to become Watford manager has now been identified.
dionysi on the way
Journalist Luca Cerchione The manager in question is former Sassuolo boss Alessio Dionisi, the report says. The Italian was last in charge of Empoli, who failed to get out of Serie B in the previous campaign.
It is believed that talks between Watford and the 46-year-old are progressing. But overall, Dionisi is expected to take charge of the London club soon.
He is likely to sign a two-year deal and will earn £500k per season. The information from Italy seems to be somewhat more advanced than that reported in England, and the move is now going in the right direction.
Dionisi's career is in decline
At one point, Dionisi was seen as one of Italy's best young managers. That is why he replaced Roberto De Zerbi at Sassuolo, but his tenure was a disastrous failure. This is one of the reasons why Nerovedi also got demoted soon.
Since then, Dionisi has been stuck in Italian football managerial purgatory. He has not made the huge leap into stardom and finds himself as a Serie B-proven boss. His stint at Palermo had sparks of his old attacking style but it also ended in failure.
As a result, Watford are taking risks. Recent years have not been enough to show whether the manager has lived up to his early promise. If it goes well, Dionisi will also benefit from it and will be able to get his reputation back on track.
