Championship club to move on from manager in summer – two months after penning deal until 2028

Watford are set to part company with boss Ed Still at the end of the season, talkSPORT understands.

The 35-year-old has won only three of his 14 Championship games in charge since replacing Javi Gracia in February.

Still – brother of former Southampton boss Will – penned a two-and-a-half-year deal at Vicarage Road.

Wat on earth?

But the decision has been made two months later that there will be another boss in the dugout for the 2026/27 campaign.

Watford have suffered four consecutive defeats in England’s second-tier to leave them in 16th spot with one match to play.

They failed to score in their first three games in this horror run – losing 2-0 to both Oxford United and Sheffield United.

A 3-0 defeat away at West Brom then followed, before the Hornets were humiliated by Middlesbrough on Saturday – losing 5-1 at the Riverside.

Watford’s last win came against promotion-chasing Wrexham on March 17.

It was their third victory in six fixtures having triumphed over Derby County and Bristol City.

But their winless run now stands at seven matches – with Still losing eight of his games in charge.

And things could get worse for Still and Watford when they welcome Championship winners Coventry to Hertfordshire in next weekend’s final game of the campaign.
