Watford technical director Ben Manga has branded speculation around Chris Wilder’s future “disrespectful” insisting the Hornets manager will be in charge for the remainder of the current campaign.
Bristol City travel to Vicarage Road on Saturday with the Hornets drifting towards mid-table under Wilder as the 55-year-old has recorded just one win from his six games in charge since taking over from Slaven Bilic on March 7.
TalkSPORT reported on Wednesday that the Hornets were considering his future with Italian coach Francesco Farioli mentioned as a possible replacement. But Watford then moved to clarify Wilder’s situation, albeit merely confirming the club would be honouring the short-term contract of the former Sheffield United and Middlesbrough manager.
