Watford could follow in Hull City’s lead by favouring experience as they search for a new manager.The Hornets are looking for their fifth boss in the space of just a year following Ed Still’s sacking almost immediately after the Championship season ended.Ed Still left Watford after just three months on SundayGettyHaving only taken over from Javi Gracia at Vicarage Road in February, Still saw his reign cut short less than 24 hours after his side were thumped 4-0 by Coventry on Saturday.The 35-year-old had signed a two-and-a-half-year deal when he joined the club just three months ago.However, talkSPORT understands he was effectively on a three-month rolling contract, which allowed Watford to avoid making a large payout following his exit.Still’s departure won’t be much of a surprise to fans though, with the Championship club known to be trigger-happy with hiring and firing.Since the Pozzo family bought the Hornets in 2012, they have appointed no fewer than 23 permanent managers.Who will be Watford’s next manager?With Watford now in the market for a new boss, speculation has already begun over who could be next in line at Vicarage Road. This was the topic of discussion on Monday’s talkSPORT, where Chief Football Correspondent Alex Crook responded to suggestions that Still’s brother, ex-Southampton boss Will, could be his successor.To this, Crook said: “I’ve not heard that one. “I know there are various names under discussion. “It’s unusual, actually, for Watford not to have the next cab off the rank lined up.Will Still was only in charge of Southampton for 16 matches before being sacked in NovemberGettyWatford were thumped by Coventry on the final day of the seasonGetty“Normally they sack a manager, and within minutes there’s a new man in place.”The winning formula?With no overwhelming favourite for the Watford vacancy just yet, Crook then discussed how the club could go about their search for another new manager. He tipped the Hornets to follow a similar path to league rivals Hull, who booked their spot in the Championship playoffs with victory over Norwich on the final day of the season.Under manager Sergej Jakirovic, the Tigers have been a surprise package this season, thriving with a core of experienced players which includes the league’s second-top goalscorer Oli McBurnie.And Crook believes Watford could well employ a similar approach, by looking to manager with proven Championship expertise.He continued: “I think they might well follow the Hull approach. That doesn’t necessarily mean they’re going to get a British manager. Oli McBurnie fired Hull into the play-offs with two goals against Norwich on the final day of the seasonGetty“But I think they’ve seen what Hull have done in terms of recruiting those British players. Players proven in the Championship, like Oli McBurnie. “And they see that as a recipe for success. So I think what we’re going to see at Vicarage Road is a change in their recruitment process.”Managerial merry-go-roundWatford ultimately finished 16th in the Championship, having lost their final five games of the season.Still’s spell in charge proved a challenging one, who managed just three wins in his 15 games as manager, losing eight matches and drawing four times.His sacking saw him become the third manager to be axed by Watford within a year, following Tom Cleverley’s exit last May and Paulo Pezzolano’s sacking in October.Javi Gracia, who previously led the club between 2018 and 2019, also returned for a second stint between October and February, before his resignation paved the way for Still’s appointment.
