Current Watford Manager
| Manager | Appointment Date | To | Days in Charge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tom Cleverley | 24/04/2024 | 09/12/2024 | 229 |
Tom Cleverley, who was in charge of the Under 18 side at Vicarage Road, became Interim Head Coach when Valerien Ismael was sacked in March 2024. His record of W1 D5 L1 was deemed good enough for him to be appointed Head Coach at the end of April. It remains to be seen how long the Hertfordshire club will stick with Cleverley. If another change occurs, the bookmakers will create the next Watford FC manager betting market. The next EFL Championship Manager to be sacked blog may also offer clues about who is available for the Hornets.

The ex-Watford legend, who played 389 games for the Hornets, started his coaching career at Forest Green Rovers. However, that project went poorly, and he was dismissed after just six games. His abrasive style of man management did not go down well with the Gloucestershire League Two side. We suspect he will go back to Vicarage Road at some point in the future.

Watford are on the lookout for a new manager after Roy Hodgson confirmed that he won't be staying at the club next season. Hodgson took over at the Hornets at the end of January, with the hopes of keeping them up but failed to do so with no change in their fortunes. Former player John Eustace has been placed as favourite in the betting market at odds of 4/9, making him much lower odds than any other candidate.

Watford Betting Specials: The Hornets 9/4 to STAY UP this season after Roy Hodgson appointment!
After the dismissal of yet another manager yesterday in Claudio Ranieri, Watford have again got another new manager. Bookmakers were giving odds of 1/20 for Roy Hodgson to be their new manager as soon as half an hour after Ranieri was sacked yesterday, so the deal may have been in the pipeline early. Hodgson has been without a job since he left Crystal Palace in the Summer and at the time dismissed rumours of retiring. This was the right thing for him to do, with just 8 months later the experience manager finding himself back in the Premier League.
