Javi Gracia resigns as Watford head coach | OneFootball

Javi Gracia has resigned from his role as Watford head coach following Saturday's 2-0 defeat at home to Swansea City.

"The club is sad and disappointed to confirm the resignation of Javi Gracia as Head Coach," the club said in a statement.

"We retain the belief Javi was the right man to lead the club towards its push for promotion, but Javi felt he no longer had the motivation and was not the right man to continue coaching this exciting group of young players.

"We respect his decision and accept his wish to leave Vicarage Road with immediate effect."

Watford are in action Tuesday away to Hull City where Charlie Daniels, Dan Gosling, and Adrian Mariappa will be in charge. The Hornets are yet to win since New Year's Day having lost three and drawn two of their last five games in all competitions, they are also 10th in the table four points away from the play-off spots.
