If sharks are predators, why are it’s eyes on the sides of the head?

I read in school that prey have eyes on the sides of the head (sheep, cows, etc) to spot predators coming whereas predators have eyes on the front. Is this rule not applicable to marine biology?

Land predators rely on sight more than sharks do, while sharks rely on smell more. Hammerheads are the best example, their eyes are way out to the side right? They sense the electromagnetic field of their prey, even below the sand.
