Watford have sacked head coach Tom Cleverley after a run of five league wins in 2025 saw them finish 14th in the Championship.

The former Hornets player was appointed on an initial interim basis in March 2024, and was handed the job full time after losing only once of seven games.

But following a poor run of form in the second half of 2024/25, he becomes the 10th manager dismissed by the club in the last five years.

Sporting director Gian Luca Nani told the club website: "The time has come for a change and to build on what we believe is a young and talented squad that will have benefitted from the experience of the Championship this season."
