Cleverly leaves Watford.

England Championship (Second Division) Watford announced on its official website on May 6 (Korea Standard Time) that "Tom Cleverly will step down as the first-team coach."

Cleverly was from Manchester United when he was active, and he is not unfamiliar to soccer fans.

Cleverly, who retired from Watford in 2023 after Manchester United and Everton, took over as interim manager after Valerien Ismael was replaced in March 2024. He even won a formal managerial contract thanks to his good performance as an interim manager.

Watford ended the season in 14th place in the league, following a downward trend, with only one draw and four losses in the last five games of the season.

In the end, Watford chose to replace the coach. "I am grateful for everything he left as Watford coach, as well as players and staff," General Manager Gian Luca Nani said. "However, the time has come to change the team so that young and talented players can benefit from the experience of this season's championship."
