Watford has made official the dismissal of its coach, Nigel Pearson, this Sunday with two games to go until the end of the Premier League. Pearson is the third coach to be fired this season at Watford, after Spaniards Javi Gracia and Quique Sánchez Flores.
Despite winning two of the last three games, Watford has decided to dispense with Pearson two days after the vital match against Manchester City in which many of their options will be played to continue in the Premier League.
The Hornets are 17th with a three point lead over Aston Villa and Bournemouth.
