During his short time in charge, Still recorded a lackluster record of 3 wins, 4 draws, and 8 defeats across 15 matches. The final nail in the coffin came after Watford lost their last five league fixtures—conceding a troubling 16 goals while managing to score only once.

This latest change continues a troubling trend for Watford under the ownership of Gino Pozzo. Since Pozzo took over in 2012, the club has made an astonishing 23 permanent managerial appointments. In fact, they have cycled through 15 head coaches since September 2019 alone.

Still was appointed on February 9, 2026, with hopes of revitalizing a struggling squad. However, his time was marred by poor performances and mounting pressure from fans and management alike. First Team Coach Karim Belhocine has also left the club alongside him.

The official statement from Watford FC confirmed the departure: “We wish them all the best in their future endeavours.” This sentiment echoes what Scott Duxbury mentioned regarding necessary improvements: “We have to accept there were things we got wrong – and things that MUST improve over the close season.”

As Watford begins its search for a new manager—marking their fifth appointment in just one year—questions loom about the direction of the club. Will they find someone capable of breaking this cycle of instability? Or will they continue to flounder in their quest for success?
