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 one of seven games.

Despite losing both the club's player and young player of the year last summer, he led the Hornets to within four points of the play-offs at the end of March, but one win from their final seven games saw them finish 11 points adrift.
