Valerien Ismael has been named new Watford manager.

Ismael replaces Chris Wilder, who has left the Hornet's after a short-term deal. Wilder parted ways on Wednesday.

Ismael's contract length has not been disclosed. Watford technical director Ben Manga said: “Being able to appoint a new coach so soon in May means we can prepare very well together for next season.

“To be able to welcome someone of Valerien's experience to Watford is good news for our club. We are all looking forward to working with him."
