Profile

Watford are Managed by Quique Sánchez Flores who returned to the club following the departure of Javi Gracia.

He was a surprise choice to many but in his first full season he led the Hornets to the FA Cup final, and 11th in the league, when many predicted he would be the first manager to be sacked.

Watford have previously appeared in the Premier League on two occasions, however they lasted just a single season each time. But, after winning promotion for a third time in 2015 they were able to preserve their top-flight status for the first time under Quique Sanchez Flores, who lasted just a year in the dugout, while his replacement Walter Mazzarri also lasted just a single season. Silva then only made it half-way through the campaign, but it looks like Gracia is here to stay.
