Albion manager Oscar Garcia as their new head
coach.
Garcia replaces Beppe Sannino at Vicarage Road
after the Italian resigned from his post on Sunday,
despite only taking over on December 18 last year.
A statement on the club's website read: "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.
"Everyone at Vicarage Road extends their best
wishes to Oscar for his new role, which he takes up
with immediate effect."
Watford will look to Garcia to build on the club's
successful start to this season's Sky Bet
Championship campaign, with his new club
currently in second place having won four of their
opening five games.
