A PROLONGED cup run can no longer gurantee a manager time in a job after Watford announced Quique Sanchez Flores will be replaced at the end of the season.

Flores led the Hornets to the FA Cup semi-final and secured their Premier League status for another year with relative ease, in what many outside the club perceived as an excellent season for the club.

Everton parted ways with Roberto Martinez on Thursday morning, in a season where the Spaniard got the club to two domestic cup semi-finals.
