Northern Ireland coach Michael O'Neill has slammed Watford over the sacking of Billy McKinlay.
McKinlay quit his role as O'Neill's No2 at the end of last month to take over at Vicarage Road, but lasted just eight days before being replaced.
O'Neill said: "I'm very disappointed for him, and really I think Watford have to look at themselves.
"Billy's not done anything untoward there - he went in in difficult circumstances, got a win and a draw and suddenly finds himself out of work again which is very poor.
"There's a human aspect to football as well and I think the owners, technical directors and chief executives need to consider that when they're playing with people's lives in this way."
