Watford have made the decision to hand Tom Cleverley the reins on a permanent basis.
He has been appointed as their new head coach after overseeing an interim period after replacing former West Brom boss Valérien Ismaël. Cleverley has overseen seven league matches, earning five draws and one win against five team’s in the top seven. His appointment represents a quick rise to the Vicarage Road hot seat.
His one win in charge came against Birmingham City. Emmanuel Dennis scored the only goal of the game at St Andrew’s in mid-March. It was a change that prompted Birmingham to bring in Gary Rowett after Mark Venus had been unable to register a win after taking over from Tony Mowbray.
