SACKED! Watford dump manager Javi Gracia
Posted Sunday, September 08, 2019 by Tribalfootball.com
Watford have sacked manager Javi Gracia and replaced him with former boss Quique Sanchez Flores.
Sanchez Flores returns to the club three years after he was sacked.
The Hornets sit bottom of the Premier League after a poor start, losing three of their first four matches.
Gracia, 49, took over at Vicarage Road in January 2018 following Marco Silva's exit and signed a long-term deal in November last year after a strong start.
He guided Watford to the FA Cup final last season and an 11th placed finish in the Premier League.
A club statement read: "Watford Football Club confirms the departure of Head Coach Javi Gracia.
"Chairman & CEO Scott Duxbury said: “Javi has represented Watford with great dignity and will always be deserving of our fullest respect for his achievements.
"Javi Gracia's staff will also be leaving the club, ahead of the imminent appointment of a new coaching team.
"Everyone at the Hornets wishes Javi and his staff all the very best for the future, and they will always be welcome visitors in the future at Vicarage Road."
