Watford FC parted ways with Head Coach Edward Still following a disappointing 16th-place finish in the English Championship. Appointed in February, Still won just three out of 15 matches. His exit marks the 22nd managerial change at the club since 2014. Karim Belhocine also departs.

Watford FC has dismissed Head Coach Edward Still after the team ended the English Championship season in 16th place. Still, who took over in February, managed only three wins in 15 games. His tenure concluded after a nine-game winless streak, including a 4-0 defeat to champions Coventry.

"Watford FC have this morning parted company with Head Coach Ed Still. First Team Coach Karim Belhocine has also left the club," read an official club statement on Sunday. Still's departure makes him the 22nd full-time manager to exit the club since 2014.

The club has seen eight different coaches, excluding caretaker Charlie Daniels, since the 2021-22 season, when they were relegated from the Premier League. Of these managers, six lasted less than six months, highlighting the club's ongoing struggles for stability.
