Quique Sanchez Flores insists Watford have plenty to play for

New Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores insists there's plenty to play for this season.

Sanchez Flores thinks the decision to bring him back in place of Gracia demonstrates the club's ambition and shows why they can achieve "something special".

"I never see Watford at the bottom," he said.

"Three years ago, we were never there. The last three years, it was impossible to think about that, but football's very hard right now. It's very equal, very even and everything is pure competition, so everything is possible.

"We need to go out of this position as soon as possible.

"The ambition is the same. This is a club that is very clear about the way they want to grow and so I realise of course they have changed a lot of things, the training ground, the players, the squad.

"But [what they want] is exactly the same what they wanted from me three years ago.

"Now it's a little bit different because they're established in the Premier League, they want to keep going in the same category, so the pressure is the same, but the squad and the objective of the club they are different.

"I'm confident we can work together and we can do something special."
