Bottom of the table side Watford have appointed former Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson as their new boss barely 48 hours after sacking Quique Sanchez Flores.
Flores, took over from Javi Garcia but failed to turn the Hornets’ fortunes around and was ultimately given the sack less than 90 days after taking over.

Chairman Scott Duxbury confirmed the appointment, adding that Pearson had massive experience.
"Nigel comes with all of the experience and success we believe can have a very positive impact on our season," he said.
Pearson will, however , not oversee Watford’s next game as his appointment came well after the club had already made preparations to face Crystal Palace.
Instead, Hayden Mullins, the under-23 coach will take charge on Saturday, December 7.
