ED STILL has been brutally sacked by Belgian strugglers RAAL La Louviere – just six months after Watford wielded the axe.

The ex-Anderlecht interim boss, 35, only lasted 83 days in the Vicarage Road dugout before being dismissed.

And Still, whose brother Will is in charge of Auxerre, has now been shown the door for the second time in six months.

RAAL supremos chose to make a change in the dugout when their 1-0 loss to Cercle Brugge, which included two penalty misses, left them in the Belgian Pro League relegation zone.

Still was appointed as the minnows’ chief just 17 days after being given his marching orders by Championship side Watford.

But the Belgian only picked up seven points during his 12 games in charge and club president Salvatore Curaba brutally confirmed a change was being made during a live TV interview.

He told DAZN: “The announcement I wish to make is that we have made the decision to end our collaboration with Edward.

“I like Edward a great deal, but the club’s interests come before those of any individual, and I believe we have to make a decision now.

“We had set a target of five points out of nine – ideally six out of nine – but we only secured three.

“Obviously, he isn’t the one taking the penalties, it’s the players who take them.

“I think he was doing a good job. We just needed to be patient – but does RAAL have the luxury of being patient?

“We’re currently second from bottom, so we’ve decided to end our partnership with Edward.”

A brief statement was then released which read: “RAAL and Edward Still are parting ways after the defeat against Cercle Brugge.

“We thank Edward for his work and wish him all the best for the future.”

Still saw Mustapha Isah and Leandro Rousseau squander spot-kicks during RAAL’s latest setback.

It meant Steve Ngoura’s early goal was enough for Cercle Brugge to leave the Easi Arena with all three points.
