‘This is the grave of true managers’ Championship Watford changes manager again, 12th in four and a half years
"The average term of office is 4.5 months, and the player is also confused."
At this level, there seems to be nothing to be compared in any league in the world. Watford, the world's worst "grave of coaches" in the English Championship (minor league). Watford replaced the coach again. It was the 12th dismissal in the last four and a half years. If you look at the average tenure of managers who worked for the team during this period, it is only 4.5 months. Simply put, they take off their clothes when they remember the faces and names of all the players on the team. There is no way for a team to operate properly.
"Watford fired Valerian Ismael and appointed former Manchester United star Tom Cleverly as the acting manager," the British media The Sun reported on the 10th (Korea time). "I have been managing for the past four and a half years." As many as 12 coaches have been reportedly replaced.
Watford announced the change of coach on their official social media after losing 1-2 at home to Coventry City at Vicarage Road. The club said: "After losing to Coventry, Ismael's contract has been terminated and Cleverly will take over as the team's acting manager."
Watford has been suffering from a severe economic slump recently. In terms of the results, the change of coach is easy. With only two wins in the last 13 games, the ranking has plummeted from seventh to 13th. Eventually, owner Gino Pozo decided to fire Ismael himself.
However, looking at Watford's behavior over the past few years, it seems that changing the coach is not the way to normalize the team. There is a problem with the management itself. The team's identity has been destroyed due to frequent changes of the coach. In fact, Watford has replaced as many as 12 coaches over the past four and a half years. It means that the coach is not the problem. https://www.flickr.com/photos/199914139@N05/53575339077/in/dateposted-public/
