“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.”
Ivic will start working with the Hornets squad on Monday.
“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,’’ The Serbian tactician added.
