This season was for the first time since 2009–10 without former club's goalscorer Troy Deeney who joined Birmingham City after his contract expired.

Managerial changes edit

On 3 October, the Hornets sacked head coach Xisco.[1] A day later, Claudio Ranieri was appointed the club's new Head Coach, on a two-year contract.[2]

Ranieri was sacked on 24 January and was replaced the following day by Roy Hodgson. Watford would go on to record 2 wins and remain winless in Hodgson’s tenure and be relegated in May 2022 following a 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace.
