Watford head coach Giuseppe Sannino resigns

Giuseppe Sannino resigns from his post as head coach with Watford.

Giuseppe Sannino has resigned from his post as head coach with Championship side Watford.

The Italian quit the role this evening after just over eight months in charge of the side.

In a statement released on the club's website, the 57-year-old said: "I took over a very talented squad when I arrived, but they were boys in many ways.

"I'm proud of what we have achieved and I have no doubt that the squad now, who look very much like men who know exactly what they must do, are very capable of getting promotion from this tough Championship league.

"I know I have given everything to Watford; I have given my heart and soul to the job and I have been happy to do this because of the wonderful support I have received from everyone, and most of all the fans, who are truly amazing."

Watford currently sit second in the Championship table.
