Claudio Ranieri has been sacked by Watford after just over three months in charge, with the club lying 19th in the Premier League.
Ranieri has failed to turn around the team’s fortunes since being appointed in October, with the Hornets dropping into the Premier League relegation zone for the first time this season after Friday’s 3-0 home defeat to fellow strugglers Norwich.
Under Ranieri, Watford have lost seven of their last eight league matches.
Their most recent victory was the 4-1 defeat of Manchester United in November at Vicarage Road.
