History of the Watford FC

Watford FC is a professional football club based in Watford, Hertfordshire, England. Founded in 1881 as Watford Rovers and later renamed simply Watford Football Club, the team has been competing at the highest level of English football since its promotion to the Premier League in 2015.

The Hornets have had an impressive history over their 139 years of existence. They reached the peak of success when they won both Division One (now known as Championship) and FA Cup titles during Graham Taylor's tenure from 1977-1987 - becoming one of only four clubs outside London to win either trophy since World War II. They also achieved two promotions into the top flight between 2006-2015 under manager Aidy Boothroyd before gaining promotion into Premier League for the first time, with Slavisa Jokanovic leading them there in the 2014/15 season after the 8th-place finish that year.

Since joining Premier League ranks again after a long absence back then, The Hornets have managed some impressive results, such as staying up for consecutive seasons without any relegations or major struggles against relegation each year despite having limited resources compared to other teams around them on the table; which speaks volumes about how well coached this squad is by current Head Coach Nigel Pearson who took charge midway through 2019/20 campaign & led his side away from danger zone towards relative safety end season last term!
