Isaac Success coach at Watford sacked after 10 games in charge

Coach of Nigeria international, Isaac Success at Watford has been sacked after 10 games in charge in the Premier League.

Quique Sanchez Flores was returning to the EPL for the second time but after losing to Southampton on Saturday 2-1 , the club’s leadership was forced to terminate his contract. Watford sit bottom of the Premier League, six points from safety.

“Quique is a man of great integrity and it was clear how much he wanted to have a positive impact, but ultimately results have dictated our decision,” Hornets’ chairman & CEO Scott Duxbury said.

“The appointment of a new head coach is imminent, and with nearly two-thirds of the season remaining, we will provide all the support necessary to make the coming months successful.”

Watford are now set to name a 10th manager since 2013.

Sources have told ESPN FC that Chris Hughton and Paul Clement are among the candidates to replace Sanchez Flores, who oversaw just one win in 10 Premier League games.

The Spaniard was previously in charge of Watford during the 2015-16 season during which he led the club to an FA Cup semifinal and a 13th place finish in the Premier League.
