Cleverley becomes 10th Watford boss sacked in five years

Article arrow_drop_down

Watford have sacked head coach Tom Cleverley after a run of five league wins in 2025 saw them finish 14th in the Championship.

The former Hornets player was appointed on an initial interim basis in March 2024, and was handed the job full time after losing only once of seven games.

But following a poor run of form in the second half of 2024/25, he becomes the 10th manager dismissed by the club in the last five years.

Watford were as little as four points off the play-offs at the end of March but one win from their final seven games saw them finish 11 points adrift.

Sporting director Gian Luca Nani told the club website: “The time has come for a change and to build on what we believe is a young and talented squad that will have benefitted from the experience of the Championship this season.”

Cleverley leaves as Watford’s longest-serving head coach since Javi Gracia – and is the first to last more than a season since the Spanish boss was dismissed in 2019.

Since Gino Pozzo took over the club in June 2012, the Hornets have been through 21 permanent managers in 13 years, including 15 who have lasted less than a full campaign.

Fantasy Baseball Notebook: A slugger’s strange season, an emerging MLB star and pickups to target

Luis Robert Jr.’s strange seasonRobert is hitting just .188 and on pace to record only 72 RBI. His K% (31.4) is in the bottom 6% of the league. Robert is also somehow on pace to finish with 24 homers and 72 stolen bases, as he’s been a borderline top 50 fantasy player despite the ugly BA. Robert leads the league in steals (despite a .302 OBP), as he’s running more than ever during a contract year (while sporting a Sprint Speed in the 85th percentile).AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementRobert’s SB pace is sure to slow down, but he’s one season removed from totaling 58 homers/steals in fewer than 550 ABs (with a 128 wRC+). Projection systems remained extremely bullish before the season despite Robert coming off a down 2024, and he’s plenty capable of hitting much better moving forward.

Konec nováčka Doohana ve formuli 1 se přiblížil

Už minulý týden naznačil zástupce jednoho ze sponzorů Argentince Colapinta možnost, že se tento dosud rezervní jezdec stáje Alpine poprvé představí v kokpitu francouzské stáje během následující Velké ceny Emilia Romagna v Imole.Horacio Daniel Marín, generální ředitel a prezident argentinské energetocké společnosti YPF, v rozhovoru na zpravodajském kanálu A24 mimo záznam kamery, ale se zapnutým mikrofonem prohlásil, že Colapintův debut přijde v Imole. Zpráva vyvolala rozruch a Marín se následně dušoval, že šlo pouze o jeho přání a ne zákulisní informaci.Samotná stáj ještě před víkendovou Velkou cenou Miami trvala na tom, že její jezdecká sestava je aktuálně Pierre Gasly s Jackem Doohanem, ale prohlášení jejího šéfa se nezdálo být suverénní.„V tuto chvíli je Jack společně s Pierrem náš pilot.

Raiders set to use rookie at QB, WR and other positions: ‘Wouldn’t pigeonhole him’

Getty Images The Las Vegas Raiders picked not one but two quarterbacks late in the 2025 NFL Draft, though one of them, Montana State's Tommy Mellott, was quickly converted to wide receiver. It turns out Mellott just might play both positions, plus more, with the Raiders expecting to deploy the rookie as a sort of Swiss Army knife."I wouldn't pigeonhole him right now," Raiders college scouting director Brandon Yeargan said, via the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "I would say we view him as a receiver that's going to have a lot of value in the kicking game, potentially as a returner, as a cover player, maybe play some quarterback, too. We're looking [at him] really as an athlete ... [because] he's a unique guy."Yeargan's remarks come after a pre-draft process in which Mellott was frequently compared to longtime New England Patriots […]
