Watford sack Pezzolano and reappoint Gracia
Watford have dismissed Paulo Pezzolano after five months despite recent improved results and appointed Javi Gracia, their 12th managerial change in five years.
- On Tuesday, Watford sacked head coach Paulo Pezzolano after just five months and replaced him with former boss Javi Gracia.
- Pezzolano endured a mixed start at the club despite heavy transfer backing, with Watford supporters chanting `You're getting sacked in the morning` at Hull and Portsmouth.
- He took charge of 10 competitive games; Watford picked up only five points from their first six league games but earned seven points from the recent three-match run.
- Javi Gracia returns to Watford and will lead training on Wednesday after steering the club to Premier League safety and the FA Cup final in 2018/19.
- The Watford Observer reports the decision was in the works before Saturday's win over Oxford United and followed Gino Pozzo, Watford owner's ambition to challenge for promotion after heavy spending.
