Slavisa Jokanovic: Sheffield United set to appoint former Watford and Fulham boss

Sheffield United are set to appoint former Watford and Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic as their new manager.

The Blades will play in the Championship next season after finishing bottom of the Premier League.

Jokanovic, who led Watford and Fulham to promotion to the top flight, is currently in charge of Qatari side Al-Gharafa.

United finished 16 points adrift of safety in a season in which they lost 29 of their 38 matches.

Chris Wilder, who led United from League One to the Premier League, left in March and Under-23's boss Paul Heckingbottom ended the season in caretaker charge.
