Watford boss Vladimir Ivic facing the sack as Hornets suffer fourth defeat of the season following Huddersfield Town loss after Serb axed talisman Troy Deeney

Watford coach Vladimir Ivic is facing the sack after just four months in charge.

The Vicarage Road club are poised to make yet another managerial change after Saturday's defeat to Huddersfield Town, their fourth defeat of the season, which also saw Troy Deeney left on the bench, in part for disciplinary reasons.

Ivic, 43, was appointed in August becoming Watford's fourth permanent coach in a year.

The Hornets suffered their fourth defeat of the season and slipped to fifth in the Championship

When quizzed on Deeney, Ivic said: 'He didn't start because he played a lot of full games recently.

'I believe that he wasn't ready to play from the beginning but the reason he wasn't able to come on was a discipline issue.
