Xisco Munoz: Watford set to appoint Dinamo Tbilisi boss as manager

Watford are set to appoint Xisco Munoz as their new manager after the sacking of Vladimir Ivic.

Spaniard Xisco is currently the manager of Georgian top-flight side Dinamo Tbilisi.

The 40-year-old would become the Vicarage Road club's fifth manager in just over a year if he is appointed.

Ivic was sacked with Watford fifth in the Championship, four points off second-placed Bournemouth and nine behind leaders Norwich.

He had taken charge of the Hornets in August.
