Appointed after back-to-back relegations from the Premier League under previous managers, Jackett steadied the club and restored momentum on and off the pitch.

Renowned for a positive, bright manner, he was widely liked by supporters and players throughout his time at the club.

His managerial career stretched across four decades, from his first role at Watford to his final position at Gillingham.
