Fabrizio Romano provides managerial update as Watford eye Claudio Ranieri replacement

Watford are working to appoint Roy Hodgson as the new head coach of the club in the coming hours, according to sports journalist Fabrizio Romano. Claudio Ranieri parted ways with the club yesterday following the 3 - 0 defeat to Norwich City. "The Hornets' Board recognises Claudio as a man of great integrity and honour, who will always be respected here at Vicarage Road for his efforts in leading the team with dignity,"the statement said. "However the Board feels that, with nearly half of the Premier League campaign remaining, a change in the Head Coach position now will give a new appointment sufficient time to work with a talented squad to achieve the immediate goal of retaining Premier League status." Romano claims that Roy Hodgson, being the main candidate for Watford job, is waiting for his Premier League comeback. The final details are set to be discussed in the morning.
