Watford Sack Head Coach Ed Still After Less Than Three Months

Watford have dismissed head coach Ed Still following the club's failure to secure a play-off spot in the Championship this season.

Watch the highlights:

Still was appointed at Vicarage Road earlier this year but was unable to guide the Hornets to the top-six finish required for a play-off place. The club has now moved to terminate his contract less than three months after his appointment.

Watford finished the regular season outside the play-off positions, prompting the board to make the change with an eye on next season's promotion push.

The club will now begin the search for a new head coach to lead the team for the upcoming campaign. A statement from Watford is expected to confirm the departure and outline the club's plans for finding a replacement.

Watford have a history of appointing and dismissing managers frequently, and this latest change continues that pattern as they seek to return to the Premier League.
