 And Watford New Manager has agreed to take charge of the relegation-threatened club until the end of the season. The 74-year-old will land a seven-figure bonus on the top of what is described as a modest salary if he can lead the club to Premier League safety. Herdisson entered Watford London base on Tuesday morning to complete the formalities of the six-month contract as he replaces Claudius, who was sacked on Monday after a dismal run clapped by a 3-0 home defeat by the relegation rival Norwich.
