Watford sack head coach Ed Still after dismal end to Championship season

• The 35-year-old, brother of Will Still, lasts three months

• Watford sack 11th head coach since end of 2020-21 season

Watford have sacked head coach Ed Still, just three months into a two-and-a-half year contract, following the Championship club’s dismal end to the season. Still was Watford’s 11th permanent head coach since the end of the 2020-21 season.

Still, 35, was appointed in February following the resignation of Javi Gracia and his sacking comes at the end of the Championship season in which Watford lost six of their final seven games. The Hornets finished 16th, 10 points above the relegation zone.
