Javi Gracia was sacked on 7 September 2019, after a poor start to the season saw Watford bottom with just one point.[7] He was replaced by former manager, Quique Sánchez Flores [8] However, on 1 December 2019, Flores was sacked after securing only a single victory in his second stint in charge.[9] Nigel Pearson was appointed manager on 6 December 2019 on a season-long contract.[10] On 19 July 2020, Pearson was sacked with two games remaining in the 2019–20 season. Watford were seven points adrift at the bottom of the league when Pearson took charge, and three points above the relegation zone when he was sacked.[11][12] Following Pearson's sacking, under interim manager Hayden Mullins, Watford went on to lose their remaining two games and were relegated.[13]
