Slaven Bilic sacked by Watford after less than six months in charge with Chris Wilder set to take charge | Football News
Slaven Bilic has been sacked by Watford after less than six months in charge – and Chris Wilder has agreed to take over for the rest of the season.
Final details of Wilder’s contract are currently being discussed and could be signed within the next 24 hours.
Bilic’s last game was a 0-0 draw at home to Preston on Saturday, a result that left them with just one win in their past eight league matches and four points off the Championship play-off places. Watford have won just three games since Christmas, and picked up only 14 points from a possible 36.
Bilic won 10 of his 26 matches in charge after being appointed in September, replacing Rob Edwards who was axed after only 10 league games.
