Overview
- Watford, which sacked head coach Ed Still on Sunday, confirmed the exit in a 32-word statement and said first-team coach Karim Belhocine had also left.
- Still won three of 15 league matches and finished 16th, following Saturday's 4-0 home loss to Coventry that capped a five-game losing run.
- The club has started a search for a new head coach, which Yahoo Sports notes would be their 15th since 2019 when excluding interim bosses.
- Chairman and CEO Scott Duxbury said the summer plan centers on adding proven leaders in the dressing room and rebuilding culture after injuries exposed a lack of senior voices.
- talkSPORT and the Mirror reported Still’s deal functioned like a three-month rolling or paid-notice arrangement, which reduces severance and lets Watford change staff with limited financial risk.
