Reset the clock because we have a Gerhard Struber rumor involving the return of a familiar suitor.
With Watford looking headed back to the Championship, the club wants someone with experience to replace short-term hire Roy Hodgson. The Athletic reports that the Hornets are in the “research stage.” The list includes but is not limited to Fabio Cannavaro, Diego Martinez, Russell Martin, and, of course, Struber. There have been “high-level conversations” over paying a “compensation fee” in order to acquire someone (anyone) currently under contract.
The Hertfordshire club was first connected to Struber during the summer of 2020 following Barnsley’s escape from relegation.
