Claudio Ranieri has been sacked by Watford just after 112 days in charge.
Sportsmail exclusively revealed on New Year’s Eve that the Italian was under increasing pressure at Vicarage Road amid doubts over his suitability as head coach and the decision has now arrived after the 3-0 home defeat to Norwich City.
The Italian and former premier league winner with Leicester was given the boot today, with the club facing the prospect of being relegated.
The Hornets occupies the 19th position in the Premier League with the Italian veteran losing 11 of his 14 matches in charge at Vicarage Road for three and half months.
Ranieri was appointed in October to replace Xisco Muñoz.
At the time of the appointment Watford were 15th in the Premier League, with two wins from seven games.
