Gibbs- who has spent time in the Academy at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium- has been appointed Acting First Team Coach.A Watford legend with over 400 appearances, the former defender was Brian McDermott's right-hand man in Berkshire.
Spending seven years at the club from 2006 until 2013, and following McDermott to Leeds United, he returned in 2018 as a coach under Paul Clement.
A less successful spell, lasting less than a year, the 57-year-old received a special welcome at last year's legends match to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the club.
