FORMER Watford boss Ed Still made a quick turnaround after taking a job with RAAL La Louviere in Belgium.
Still, 35, was only 17 days ago following a nightmarish end to the 2025/26 season.

The head coach will now head to the Belgian Pro League, where his new team stayed afloat last season without ever looking comfortable.
Still said: “I am very happy to join RAAL La Louviere.
“I am joining a club with a vision I identify with and where I find my values reflected.
“From the very first interview I was impressed by the ambition of this project, the club’s structure and the progress made since 2017.”
The former Charleroi, Eupen and Kortrijk boss has given up some of his three-month compensation from Watford after accepting a new role so quickly, according to The Watford Observer.
In February, Still took over as Anderlecht’s interim manager before being courted for the position.
He took seven points from their first four games but things fell apart following the March international break.
The side lost all of their last five games, totting up an aggregate score of 16-1.

On his way out the door, collecting only two points from their last eight games, Still claimed Vicarage Road needed a “reset” with wider cultural issues at fault.
He is set to take over from Frederic Taquin, who had been at the RAAL outfit for nine seasons, even overseeing a promotion to the top-flight.
Having returned to the continent, Still – who was born in to English parents – has reunited with his wife and mayor of Thuin Rachel Sobry.
