Watford have sacked manager Rob Edwards and replaced him with former West Ham and West Brom boss Slaven Bilic.
The Championship club announced the latest overhaul of their coaching staff on Monday, less than three months after appointing Edwards.
The former Forest Green manager oversaw just 11 games and leaves with the club 10th in the table as they bid to bounce back from relegation from the Premier League last term.
Watford owner Gino Pozzo said: “As with all decisions taken by the board, I believe this change to be in the best interests of the club.
“We felt Rob had enough time to show us the identity of his team, however performances haven’t reflected our hopes and ambitions.
“Now we must move forward, and, in Slaven Bilic, we have secured the services of an experienced coach who has recent experience of promotion to the Premier League.”
Bilic, who has also managed his native Croatia in his two-decade management career, led West Brom to the top flight in 2020.
