12 Candidates Who Could Be Sunderland's Next Manager

7. Slavisa Jokanovic

Slavisa Jokanovic is one of the most managerial prospects on the list because he's clearly a good manager who's been treated bizarrely by the Watford board, for whom he's just won promotion to the richest league in the world. Details of the situation are sketchy at best, with national papers claiming that he's been relieved off his duties after failing to agree terms, while local papers around the area say that talks are stuck but remain ongoing. One report suggests that Jokanovic was offered a £1,000 per week pay rise on top of his £9,000 p/w wages. Of course, that's a lot of money, but with promotion generating around £120 million for the Hornets, it's hard to see why he doesn't deserve a greater share.
