Sheffield United named former Fulham and Watford boss Slavisa Jokanovic as its new manager on a three-year deal, the relegated Premier League club announced on Thursday.
Jokanovic, who steered both Fulham and Watford to the top flight in 2015 and 2018, respectively, will leave his role at Qatari side Al-Gharafa to take over at Bramall Lane as its first overseas manager.
"I'm excited to work in English football again and I'm looking forward to getting started with the players and staff... as we prepare for the challenge in the Championship," Jokanovic said in a statement.
