Silva demands Watford players speak English at training

Watford boss Marco Silva is demanding his players speak only English at training.

Watford's current squad features 20 nationalities speaking 12 different languages.

The 40-year-old, who took over as the ninth head coach in five years at Vicarage Road earlier this month, said: “Will the players be speaking in English? Yes. The main language is English, I have come here to speak English.

“Normally, I talk in front of everyone in English. Sometimes I need to speak to Spanish players a bit in Spanish, but that is not perfect."
