Garrido joined the Championship club in the summer of 2024 to work alongside then boss Tom Cleverley and retained his position under Paulo Pezzolano, Javi Gracia and Ed Still. He had already announced earlier this month that he was leaving Watford. Former Watford player Behrami worked as assistant to the club's sporting director Gian Luca Nani and leaves after 12 months in the role. Daniels initially joined the Hornets as an academy coach in 2021 before moving up to assist Ed Still when he was appointed head coach in February, having taken charge of two games in interim charge following the departure of Javi Gracia. Meanwhile coach Dan Gosling will remain with Watford to assist new boss Alessio Dionisi.
