57-year-old Watford head coach Beppe Sannino has recently walked out of his post. The Italian ended his term despite leading the Hornets into second place in the Sky Bet Championship table after five games of the season. As well as for the fact that he only took charge of the squad on December 18th last year.

Although Watford's successes in his reign are relatively noticeable, there had been conflicts and unrest rising at the back of the pitch. Some senior players expressed their discontent at some of his methods and techniques on the field.

By the end of next week, Watford is in hopes of finding and appointing a new head coach to man the post.

Sannino left a statement on the club's official website announcing his departure.

The statement read: "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.

"However I feel I have gone as far as I can so, for the benefit of me and the club, I feel the time is right for me to move on.

"I am convinced whoever will be in charge in the future will have everything ready for him to deliver the success that everyone at the club would wish for"
