Tom Cleverley has been sacked as Watford manager at Vicarage Road .

Cleverley is the club's 21th managerial departure since 2012 .

Watford have been on downward trajectory since reaching the FA Cup final in 2019 .

Owner Gino Pozzo has overseen a regime that has seen his club become subject of derision for their managerial turnover.

Watford have only employed a caretaker in one season in Pozzo 's reign.

Early season managerial changes like the appointment of Slavisa Jokanovic in 2014-15 and Xisco Munoz in 2020-21 , saw the club promoted to the Premier League on each occasion.

But from 2019 , when he sacked FA Cup final manager Javi Gracia after four games of the season, his manoeuvres continually failed to bear fruit.
