Troy Deeney claims Watford head coach Paulo Pezzolano has "fallen out with everybody" at Watford ahead of potentially being replaced by Javi Gracia as head coach.
As per reports from Sky Sports this morning, the Watford Observer has been told by sources close to the club that Pezzolano is likely to leave.
Those initial reports also stated that former boss Gracia is lined up to replace him, with a source since stating to us that talks are as advanced as securing living arrangements in the area for the Spaniard.

He said: "This is probably breaking confidences a little bit but I know he [Pezzolano] has fallen out with everybody.
"When you fall out with everybody, you haven’t got someone there holding the ship together. Going at players, falling out with fans, it's never going to work.
"We already know this ownership is not afraid to pull the trigger. Unfortunately for him it didn’t work.
"I actually feel sorry for the players at this moment in time. There's no real sense of direction.
"There's no real system, they’ve changed system four times already this season, there's no continuous team."
Deeney played under possible replacement Gracia between 2018-19, captaining Watford to the FA Cup final and their highest ever Premier League finish.
The former Watford number nine is a big fan of the Spaniard.
He said: "It was probably our most talented squad when he was sacked but we had a bit of a hangover from the year before.
"He's a great guy and a great coach. He's very good with man-management and understands people really well.
"If it's the same coaching staff, they all complemented each other really well.
"For us, he was great and it worked. But then again, they say 'never go back', don't they?
"Let's see. I hope it works."
