Watford Sack Head Coach Ed Still After Three Months

Club leaders promise a summer reset focused on recruitment, culture, leadership.

Overview

  • Watford, which confirmed the decision on Sunday, dismissed head coach Ed Still after 15 games in charge.
  • His final match was Saturday’s 4-0 home defeat to Coventry, the fifth straight loss in a run that left the club 16th in the Championship.
  • First-team coach Karim Belhocine also departed, as noted in the club’s brief statement.
  • Chairman and CEO Scott Duxbury said the summer will bring changes to player recruitment, dressing-room leadership and team culture.
  • The exit continues a rapid churn of coaches, with Still the third manager sacked in a year and another head-coach search now starting.
