"Since Aidy Boothroyd's three-and-a-half-year spell as Watford manager came to an end in 2008, no permanent Hornets boss has made it past 100 games in charge. In 2012, the club changed hands and since 2014, Gino Pozzo has ruled the roost at Vicarage Road, swinging the axe ruthlessly and frequently. Ironically, the man who oversaw the most games as Watford manager under Pozzo, Javi Gracia, has made a return to the Vicarage after two years out of work."
"Unfortunately, it can only be Roy who takes the wooden spoon. The ex-Crystal Palace boss presided over a miserable 11 per cent win ratio during his 18 games in charge, winning just twice, despite having the likes of Joao Pedro, Ismaila Sarr and Emmanuel Dennis at his disposal. Watford were relegated at the end of the 2021/22 campaign with their demotion all but confirmed by a 1-0 defeat against Palace at Selhurst Park."
Since Aidy Boothroyd's three-and-a-half-year spell ended in 2008, no permanent Watford manager has reached 100 matches in charge. The club changed ownership in 2012, and Gino Pozzo has controlled operations since 2014, frequently dismissing managers. Javi Gracia, who oversaw the most games under Pozzo, returned to Vicarage Road after a two-year absence. Paulo Pezzolano was appointed over the summer but was replaced by Gracia after just 10 matches. Roy Hodgson managed 18 games with an 11 per cent win rate, winning twice, as Watford were relegated in 2021/22 following a 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace. Claudio Ranieri lost eleven of 14 matches before being replaced.
