Manager leaves with the club 14th in the Premier League‘Performances strongly indicate a negative trend,’ club sayAfter seven
Premier League games, with the team 14th in the table, and within 24 hours of the final whistle blowing on a dismal defeat against Leeds at Elland Road, Watford sacked Xisco Muñoz as head coach and opened negotiations with Claudio Ranieri.
Should he be appointed, Ranieri would have the international break to introduce the players to his methods, followed by a nightmare run of eight games in which opponents include
Liverpool,
Chelsea, both Manchester clubs,
Arsenal, Everton and Leicester.
