„Watford“ club continues its „traditions“ - not avoiding changing senior coaches, and immediately replaced Claudio Ranieri with 74-year-old specialist Roy Hodgson. This is already the third „Watford“ head coach in this „Premier“ league season, and seventh overall, including interim coach Hayden Mullins, in the last 2.5 years. Interesting facts about these coaching changes at „Watford“ club:
– Roy Hodgson is the oldest coach to take charge of „Watford“ since they maintained a „clean sheet“ in the highest English division matches.
– If you add up the ages of the last two coaches (C. Ranieri and R. Hodgson) (144), it would be more years than the club „Watford“ (141 years) has existed.
– „West Ham“ had 18 head coaches throughout their club history. „Watford“ has had 15 in the last 10 years.
– Another „Watford“ away victory will be consecutive and will be won under a new coach. (Each coach has only achieved one away win in the „Premier“ league).
– R. Hodgson is the 48th coach at the helm of „Watford“ since the time when R. Hodgson himself was born.
