Watford boss Sanchez Flores 'not sure' if he'll survive the week

Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores is unsure about his job future after defeat at Southampton.

Calls for the Hornets to change their head coach for a third time this season have intensified further after the Spaniard watched his side let a one-goal half-time slip as they crashed to a 2-1 defeat at fellow strugglers Southampton.

Asked he was confident he would still be at the helm for the next game, Sanchez Flores responded: “I'm not sure about this. I'm not part of this decision. I'm just sad because if I can help the team and suffer that, I suffer for the fans, I suffer for the players, I suffer for the owner and the future of the club of course, but this is the way I choose.

“I would regret if when they (the owners) came to my house to say you can help us, if I stayed at my house. This is not me, this is not my character. If I stay in my comfort zone, it is not me. I came here and I'm trying and fighting a lot but the circumstances are bad for us."
