Watford have announced the departure of manager Tom Cleverley, bringing an abrupt end to his tenure at the club.
This decision marks yet another managerial change for the Hornets, highlighting a period of significant instability in the dugout.
Cleverley, a former Watford player, took charge of the team on 2024.
His time in charge has been relatively short.
This sacking further emphasizes Watford’s remarkable turnover of managers in recent years.
Since September 2019, the club has now parted ways with a staggering 12 different managers, with Cleverley becoming the latest casualty.
The list paints a vivid picture of the managerial merry-go-round at Vicarage Road:
- ๐ช๐ธ Quique Sanchez Flores
- ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ Hayden Mullins
- ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ Nigel Pearson
- ๐ท๐ธ Vladimir Ivic
- ๐ช๐ธ Xisco Munoz
- ๐ฎ๐น Claudio Ranieri
- ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ Roy Hodgson
- ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ Rob Edwards
- ๐ญ๐ท Slaven Bilic
- ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ Chris Wilder
- ๐ซ๐ท Valerien Ismael
- ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ Tom Cleverley
The search for the 13th manager in less than six years will now commence, leaving many to question the long-term strategy and stability at the club.
Watford will be hoping that their next appointment can bring a period of sustained success and end this unprecedented era of managerial changes.
