English Premier League side, Watford have sacked manager, Nigel Pearson with the club battling to avoid the drop. 

Pearson, in December, took over from Quique Sanchez Flores, with Watford nine points adrift at the bottom of the Premier League. Watford set to sack Pearson: reports.

Pearson, 56, has been axed by Watford’s technical director Filippo Giraldi ahead of a decisive final week of the Premier League.

Watford are 17th in the Premier League, three points above the relegation zone ahead of Tuesday’s visit from Manchester City.

Wins against Norwich City and Newcastle United gave Watford breathing space over the bottom three.

But a woeful 3-1 defeat at relegation rivals West Ham on Friday appears to have convinced the club’s hierarchy to axe Pearson. (Reuters)
