Slaven Bilic: Watford sack head coach after less than six months in charge

Watford have sacked head coach Slaven Bilic after less than six months in charge of the Championship club.

The 54-year-old replaced Rob Edwards, who himself only lasted 11 games himself at Vicarage Road, in September.

Watford have won just one of their past eight matches and are four points outside the play-offs following Saturday's goalless draw with Preston.

The Hornets are now looking for their ninth full-time manager since Javi Gracia left in September 2019.

Since Gracia was sacked just four months after taking the club to the 2019 FA Cup final, Quique Sanchez Flores, Nigel Pearson, Vladimir Ivic, Xisco Munoz, Claudio Ranieri, Roy Hodgson, Edwards and now Bilic have all had spells in charge.
