Watford appoint Oscar Garcia as head coach

Watford appoint former Brighton & Hove Albion boss Oscar Garcia as their new head coach.

Watford have named Oscar Garcia as their new head coach.

The former Brighton & Hove Albion boss succeeds Beppe Sannino, who resigned on Sunday after eight months in charge.

Garcia left Brighton in May after guiding the Seagulls to the semi-finals of the Championship playoffs in his only season at the club.

The 41-year-old joined Maccabi Tel Aviv for a second spell as manager in June, but he stepped down from the role last week because of concerns over the current security situation in Israel.

Garcia's first match in charge of the Hornets will be at Charlton Athletic on September 13.
