Watford have sacked Marco Silva after eight months in charge, citing an 'unwarranted approach' from Everton as the reason for their dramatic drop in form. Watford have just one win in their last 11 Premier League games, and Silva was dismissed the morning after a 2-0 loss to Leicester. Former Rubin Kazan and Malaga boss Javi Gracia has been announced as their new manager on an 18-month deal. He becomes Watford's ninth head coach appointment in five and a half years.
