Watford have appointed former Brighton boss Oscar Garcia as their new manager following the departure of Giuseppe Sannino.
Sannino departed the Hornets in a shock move at the weekend, standing down from his post despite having Watford sitting second in the Championship table.
And Watford have wasted no time in replacing the Italian boss by turning to Garcia.
Watford said in a statement: "Watford Football Club is delighted to confirm the appointment of Oscar Garcia as Head Coach, the Hornets having won the race against several high-profile English clubs to secure his services.
"Oscar's recent Championship experience, taking Brighton & Hove Albion into last season's Championship promotion Play-Offs, was a key factor in his appointment."
