Ian Watson: Huddersfield Giants sack head coach after poor run

Huddersfield have sacked head coach Ian Watson after a run of just one win in eight Super League games.

Watson left Salford Red Devils to take over the Giants in November 2020 and signed a new four-year deal in July 2022.

However, after a third-placed finish that year they failed to reach the play-offs in 2023 and are eight points off them now.

Assistant Luke Robinson will take charge of the team in Saturday’s game against Leigh.
