Watford’s manager is Tom Cleverley, who initially took control as caretaker manager in March this year, before being announced on a permanent basis in April.

He had an impressive playing career representing the likes of Manchester United, Everton, Aston Villa and his current club Watford, among others. He also made 13 appearances for England and represented Great Britain in the 2012 Olympics.

Cleverley, who was forced to retire last year due to injury, took his first step into coaching as Watford U18s manager back in July 2023.

He stayed in the role until the dismissal of First Team manager Valérien Ismaël in March, when he stepped up to take control.

Since taking the job, Cleverley is the only manager in England’s top four leagues to be unbeaten at home.

He has a win percentage of 52.17%, winning 12 games, drawing three and losing eight.


But Watford Struggle on their Travels with only 1 Win from 9 Away games.

Vincent Tan said of today’s appointment of Omer Riza as New Manager of Cardiff City:


“We’ve clearly seen a change for the better in playing style and performance during Omer’s time as Interim Manager with some encouraging results. After careful consideration in recent weeks as to what the best decision was for the Club and this squad of players, I’m very pleased to give Omer this opportunity and wish him well.

“Our targets, clearly, are to climb the Championship table and further develop a squad that has youth and ability at its core.

“I thank our supporters for their patience during this critical review period and hope we can all enjoy better times during the remainder of this season.”

Omer Riza:

"Conversations are ongoing in regards to a long list and a shortlist of players coming in and leaving and recognising where the weaknesses are within the squad and how we need to replenish or replace players to make sure that come January we are taking the team to another level, hopefully.”

"The conversations have been good, and we're talking all the time and if we need to strengthen, I'm sure we'll be given the opportunity to do so."

Regarding any new coaching staff?


Omer Riza:

"I've not had any conversations regarding that," he said. "For now, we'll continue as we are. If those conversation take place along the way then that maybe something that can happen. But as it stands there's been no conversations.”

“I expect Darren Purse will stay as my assistant and we will all continue as we are.”

"At the minute we've got six months until the end of the season.”

“The staff are doing a great job. They're all working hard and the players working hard. Everything's working okay in that sense.”


"If things were to progress further down the line then potentially something like that could happen. But as it stands, everyone's working hard.”

Difficult press conference for Riza to handle.

On one hand, he's delighted that he's got what he wanted.

But he also knows a lot of fans are very unhappy tonight. Not his fault, that's down to the board.

Hopefully he proves us wrong. I'm an optimist normally but have had that knocked out of me, just can't see him being good enough.

Good luck to him
He has 2 big tests now to prove to the fans and to himself .
Can’t see Ramsey coming back to play again , hopefully he can take over from purse
