Watford have secured Alessio Dionisi as their new head coach on a two-year contract, bringing in fresh leadership at Vicarage Road following recent managerial upheaval.
The 46-year-old Italian takes the reins in the Championship after the club’s decision to part ways with Ed Still on 3 May. Still’s tenure proved short-lived, lasting less than three months in charge before his dismissal.

Sporting Director Gianluca Nani has overseen the appointment, continuing his involvement in shaping the club’s playing staff and managerial structure. Dionisi’s arrival marks a significant turning point for Watford as they look to stabilise their coaching position following the rapid exit of his predecessor.
The appointment of an experienced European coach represents a notable strategic decision for the Championship club, with Dionisi bringing his background in Italian football to the English second tier.
