Cleverley named permanent Watford boss

Tom Cleverley has been named the new permanent head coach of Championship club Watford.

The former England player took over as interim boss after Valerien Ismael was sacked in March.

Cleverley, 34, has lost just one of his seven matches in charge, with the Hornets safe from relegation in 15th place.

The ex-Manchester United and England midfielder spent three spells at Vicarage Road as a player, twice on loan, and retired from his playing career at Watford last year.
