Watford Football Club dismissed head coach Ed Still on Sunday after less than three months in charge, following a disappointing end to their Championship season. 

The 35-year-old managed just three wins in 15 matches, with the team finishing 16th after losing their final five games of the season.

In a statement, the club confirmed it had parted ways with Still and also announced the departure of first-team coach Karim Belhocine, wishing both well in their future careers.

“Watford FC have this morning parted company with head coach Ed Still,” a statement said.

“First-team coach Karim Belhocine has also left the club. We wish them all the best in their future endeavours.”

Watford began the season under Paulo Pezzolano, who was replaced in October by Javi Gracia. 

Gracia, returning for a second spell at the club, stepped down in February before Still’s appointment.

The club will now search for another permanent head coach, marking its 24th since 2012 and the 16th in the past seven years.
