Saturday, August 15, 2020, 9:15 p.m.Watford announced tonight (Saturday) the appointment of Vladan Ivic as its new coach. Five weeks have passed since the Serbian coach announced the departure of Maccabi Tel Aviv, and he finally landed with the Wasps from the Championship, who dropped out of the Premier League last season and will try to return to the main stage in England at the end of this season.
Ivica will step into the shoes of Nigel Pearson, who finished his way after the dramatic league relegation. He will be the club's fourth head coach in a year, after Xavi Gracia, Kika Sanchez Flores and Pearson. In the past, the team was coached by two other coaches who moved to Kiryat Shalom - Selvisha Yukanovich and Oscar Garcia.
