Watford have sacked manager Claudio Ranieri after 14 games and less than four months in charge.
Last Friday's 3-0 home defeat to Norwich saw Watford drop into the bottom three and prompted the club's owners to take action.
It means Watford are looking for their 15th manager since the Pozzo family took over in 2012.
Ranieri, who famously won the Premier League title with Leicester in 2015-16, was given a two-year contract after replacing Xisco Munoz.
