Watford are talking to former Italy striker Cristiano Lucarelli over the director of football position.
It is believed that the 44-year-old would replace Eric Roy ahead of next season's return to the Championship.
Lucarelli is currently manager of Serie C side Catania and scored three times in six appearances for the national side.
Talks have been ongoing between the club and Lucarelli this week.
