Roy Hodgson believes his track record of saving troubled clubs from the drop will be his trump card at Watford.
The former England coach made a shock return to football, eight months after stepping down as Crystal Palace manager, when he agreed a short-term deal with the struggling Hornets.
Hodgson, 74, is Watford's 15th permanent boss in the last 10 years and their third this season after Claudio Ranieri's 112-day reign ended on Monday.
