    Slaven Bilic has not managed in England since being sacked by West Brom in December 2020 after 18 months in charge.

    He signed a two-year contract when he took over at the The Hawthorns in June 2019, replacing Darren Moore.

    He guided Albion to promotion on the final day of last season, as they finished second in the Championship.

    But he was sacked with the Baggies 19th in the Premier League table the following year.

    He also led West Ham from June 2015 to November 2017, taking the club into Europe as they finished seventh in his final full season, recording their highest placing since 2002.

    Prior to that, he had led Croatia to two European Championships, with a quarter-final appearance in 2008 coming after they had knocked England out in the qualifiers.

    Watford

    Watford have confirmed Slaven Bilic as its new head coach on an 18-month contract, subject to receiving the relevant work permit.

    He replaces Rob Edwards who, along with assistant Richie Kyle, has left Vicarage Road.

    “As with all decisions taken by the Board, I believe this change to be in the best interests of the club,” Hornets’ owner Gino Pozzo told the club's website.

    “We felt Rob had enough time to show us the identity of his team, however performances haven’t reflected our hopes and ambitions.

    “Now we must move forward, and, in Slaven Bilic, we have secured the services of an experienced coach who has recent experience of promotion to the Premier League.”

    Clarke, who called up Hearts duo Barrie McKay and Stephen Kingsley on Sunday, added he was disappointed to lose Kieran Tierney and Scott McKenna to injuries.

    "You don't want to lose anyone from the squad," he said.

    "Kieran and Scott are two good players playing to the best of their abilities, but as I always say, injuries are sent to test you, it is now a chance for someone else."

    "Lyndon Dykes and Che Adams didn't feel very well this morning but they will be on the plane.

    "So we have that to worry about, so we are not short of issues and we are also not short of determination to go there and finish the job."
