Walter Mazzarri remains focused on future despite speculation over Watford future

Watford manager Walter Mazzarri is determined his squad will not lose focus over the final few games of the Premier League season as the Italian looks towards the future.

The Hornets have already accrued 40 points and are eight clear of relegation strugglers Swansea, on whom they also hold a match in hand as well as superior goal difference.

Despite appearing to have met his pre-season brief of delivering stability in his first campaign in England, Mazzarri continues to battle against speculation over his future amid reports of an unsettled dressing room.

The former Napoli and Inter boss, though, remains focused on the job in hand, while also keeping a view on how his side could look next season as he prepares for Saturday's trip to Leicester.
