Chelsea and Napoli legend Gianfranco Zola is set to take charge of Watford.
The Pozzo family completed its takeover this week and appointed ex-Brescia and West Ham director Gianluca Nani as technical director.
That Hammers partnership could be reunited, as former West Ham United manager Zola is tipped to become the new tactician.
Italian media report that Zola will put pen to paper on Tuesday for a four-year contract with Watford.
