Watford on Sunday announced the sacking of head coach Xisco Munoz after a poor start to the Premier League season. The Spaniard leaves with the club 14th in the Premier League table having collected just seven points from their opening seven games. “The board feels recent performances strongly indicate a negative trend at a time when team cohesion should be visibly improving,” the club said in a statement. Munoz took charge at Vicarage Road in December and successfully guided the club back to the top flight with a second-placed finish in the Championship last season. “No further club comment will be available until the imminent announcement of a new head coach.”
