Watford sack manager Rob Edwards after 10 league games with Slaven Bilic stepping in

Watford have sacked manager Rob Edwards just 10 league games into his reign with the club sat outside the Championship play-off places.

Edwards had only taken over at Vicarage Road over the summer, replacing Roy Hodgson after the Hornets' relegation from the Premier League. The club have also acted quickly to bring in a replacement, with Slaven Bilic confirmed as the new boss just minutes after the announcement of Edwards' dismissal.

Watford have had a busy summer with plenty of ins and outs, but were able to hold onto key men Ismaila Sarr and Joao Pedro despite interest from the Premier League. That hasn't been enough to save Edwards, though, with the manager told to pack his bags after just three league wins from 10 outings.
