Watford has appointed Nigel Pearson as their third manager in a single season to lead a survival mission after sack of Sanchez Flores.
The former Leicester City boss will take on from Quique Sanchez Flores, whose short-lived second spell at Vicarage Road was brought to an end last weekend.
Pearson has signed a contract initially until the end of the season, Watford said on their official website.

Watford chairman and chief executive Scott Duxbury said: “Nigel is an impressive coach and comes with all of the experience and success we believe can have a very positive impact on our season.
“It’s been a pleasure spending time listening to the passion with which he talks about the game. His enthusiasm, organisation and motivation will I’m certain prove essential in driving the team forwards and upwards over the coming weeks and months.”
The former England Under-21 boss Pearson previously managed Leicester in the top flight, in the second of his two spells with the Foxes, and has also had stints in charge of clubs including Southampton, Derby County and Hull City. His last job was with OH Leuven in Belgium.
