Flores 2-5 to take the helm at Watford

SLAVISA JOKANOVIC has been unable to agree terms on a new contract as Watford manager and the Premier League new boys are planning for life without him after entering talks with former Benfica, Valencia and Atletico Madrid head coach Quique Sanchez Flores.

Boylesports make Flores the 2-5 favourite to take the Vicarage Road helm, despite reports of a three-man shortlist that includes Roberto Di Matteo, who is available after he resigned from Bundesliga outfit Schalke at the weekend.

Di Matteo is the 7-1 second favourite to be the Hornets' next manager but may also be a target for West Ham, who are seeking a replacement for Sam Allardyce.

Slaven Bilic has eased from 8-15 to 11-10 to fill the Upton Park vacancy while Di Matteo has shortened from 25-1 to 6-1.

Rafael Benitez had been mentioned as a possible West Ham target but is on the verge of a switch to Real Madrid, who parted company with Carlo Ancelotti on Monday.

Whoever gets the West Ham job will have a busy summer after it was confirmed that they will be taking part in next season's Europa League. The first qualifying-round tie starts on July 2.

The Hammers qualified after finishing top of the Premier League fair-play table but must get through three qualifying rounds and a playoff round to seal a place in the group stage.
