Sannino explains shock Watford resignation

Beppe Sannino has resigned from Championship club Watford.

Twenty-four hours after his side beat Huddersfield 4-2, the 57-year-old has called time on his stay at Vicarage Road after just under nine months in charge.

"I took over a very talented squad when I arrived - but they were boys in many ways", Sannino said on Watford's official website.

"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."
