Watford has announced that former Inter Milan boss, Walter Mazzarri, will become head coach from July 1 after the departure of Quique Sanchez Flores.
The 54-year-old Italian, who has also managed Sampdoria and Napoli, has signed a three-year contract at Vicarage Road, the BBC reports.
Spaniard Flores left after less than a year with the Premier League side.
Watford finished 13th in a season where it also lost in the FA Cup semi-finals to Crystal Palace.
Mazzarri is the Hornets’ eighth manager in the past four years.
“Walter has been the target of a number of approaches for his services, so we’re delighted to secure him as head coach here at Watford,” the BBC quoted Watford’s chief executive, Scott Duxbury, as saying on the club’s official website.
“We’re thoroughly looking forward to working with such a highly regarded coach, with the progress and development of the club always remaining the highest priority.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
