Edward Still has taken over as Watford head coach following Javi Gracia’s departure earlier this month.
www.theleaguepaper.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting.
- Edward Still emerged as Watford’s head coach in February 2026, following his resignation from Anderlecht, with reports noting he traveled to England to finalize terms and prepare to lead the team. If you want, I can pull up the most current status from club announcements or major outlets to confirm if he’s still in charge as of today.[1][2]
- Coverage at the time highlighted his appointment as a two-and-a-half-year deal, with immediate responsibilities for a fixture against Preston North End and a plan to implement a high-tempo, compact, and aggressive style. There were also mentions of staff changes accompanying his arrival.[2]
- Several outlets circulated background details about Still, including his prior roles in Belgium and his relation to Will Still, providing context on the coaching lineage and expectations around his candidacy for the Watford job.[3][1]
Would you like me to fetch the very latest updates from reliable sources (e.g., Watford FC official site, BBC, or major sports outlets) and summarize any developments since February 2026? I can also provide a quick timeline and any notable statements from Still or the club.
