Watford sack Sean Dyche to clear way for Zola Sean Dyche has been sacked as Watford manager, paving the way for Gianfranco Zola to be appointed as his successor, BBC Sport has learned. It is understood Dyche was given the news at Vicarage Road on Monday. The 41-year-old had been in charge since June 2011 and last season led them to 11th place in the Championship, their highest finish for four years. Watford's new owners, the Pozzo family, say they already have a verbal agreement with Zola to become manager. Sean Dyche's managerial record at Watford Played - 49 Won - 17 Drawn - 17 Lost - 15 The former Italy international was previously West Ham boss for two years but he parted company with them in May 2010. Although Zola is a popular figure in English football, there will be some sympathy for Dyche, who was promoted from assistant manager when Malky Mackay left the club last summer to join Cardiff. A former centre-back, he began his career with Chesterfield and played in an FA Cup semi-final for them before moving on to Bristol City, Millwall, Watford and Northampton. His playing career came to an end in 2007 but was soon back in football when he returned to Watford as a member of the coaching staff. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18687313

I think Watford fans will probably find this is Fools' Gold... Reminds me of the Vialli-Wilkins "Era" when all the hard efforts of Taylor were just wasted

That's so unfair for Dyche! And I don't rate Zola at all!
