Watford Football Club eyes 22nd managerial change as pressure mounts on Tom Cleverley

Tom Cleverley is under increasing pressure as the head coach of Watford, with speculation mounting about his potential sacking following a disappointing run of form that has seen the team win just two of their last eight Championship matches. Despite the club's public statement affirming his position for the upcoming match against Coventry City, reports suggest that former Villarreal manager Jose Rojo Martin is being considered as his replacement. Cleverley, who has led the club to eighth place in the Championship, just one point off the play-off spots, has garnered significant support from fans, evidenced by a tifo displayed in his honor. However, the club's history of frequent managerial changes under the Pozzo family raises concerns about his job security. Recent results, including a 2-1 loss to Preston, have intensified calls for a change, and many fans are divided on the potential decision. If Cleverley is dismissed, he would be the 22nd managerial casualty since Pozzo took over in 2012, indicating a tumultuous culture surrounding management at the club.
