Pictures have tonight emerged which appear to show Watford owner Gino Pozzo and several senior members of staff meeting with Giuseppe Sannino – the man expected to replace Gianfranco Zola as head coach.

Sannino had previously confirmed he was heading to England for talks about the position, which was vacated by Zola on Monday when he resigned.

And tonight a woman posted two pictures on micro-blogging site Twitter which appear to show Pozzo, technical director Gian Luca Nani, chief scout Filippo Giraldi and two other men sitting with Sannino at a restaurant dinner table.

The pictures can be seen here.
