3 replacements for Walter Mazzarri at Watford

Slavisa Jokanovic

Slavisa Jokanovic won’t be managing Fulham in the Premier League next season after they lost out to Reading in the Championship play-off semi-finals on Tuesday, going down 2-1 to Jaap Stam’s men on aggregate.

However, could he make an incredible return to Watford and actually get the chance to manage them in the top-flight?

The 48-year-old was the man that took the Hornets to the promised land back in 2015, winning 21 of his 36 games in charge, but couldn’t agree a deal to manage the club in the top-flight, and subsequently left the club.

Nonetheless, the Watford hierarchy may look at the excellent rebuilding job he has done at Fulham, even if they didn’t get promoted, and consider him for the vacant managerial post at Vicarage Road.
