WOW!! Didn't hang around...

Watford FC announces the appointment of Quique Sánchez Flores as the club’s new Head Coach.

The 54-year-old returns to Vicarage Road, having guided Watford to a comfortable mid-table finish during the 2015/16 campaign – the club’s first season back in the Premier League.

He also led Watford to the semi-finals of the FA Cup during his year at the helm.

They have reappointed a previous manager, Flores Sanchez, apparently. He was quite good, wasn't he?
