"First of all, from the beginning I have a big expectation of myself and of my coaching staff," Ivic told watfordfc.com."It's my first time in England and I need to adapt as fast as possible, to do the best for the club is very important to me." The former Serbia international midfielder will start work with Watford on Monday, alongside his three-strong coaching team.
"I've worked with my coaching staff for three years, so I know that we will ask the most from ourselves so we can help the players to achieve the club's goals," said Ivic.
