Watford have shaken up their first-team coaching group ahead of Saturday's derby against Luton Town at Kenilworth Road.

First-team lead coach Javier Pereira has left the club with an immediate effect just two months after joining boss Tom Cleverley's staff.

He has been replaced by former Hornets defender Paul Robinson, who has been appointed as assistant coach after spells alongside Gary Rowett at Millwall and Birmingham City.

Robinson won two promotions with his hometown club under former boss Graham Taylor, having earned his debut as a 17-year-old against Luton in 1996, and made 254 appearances for the club.
