Watford boss Javi Gracia says he has big plans for the club after signing a new five-year contract.

Gracia's new deal makes him the first Watford manager to sign an extension in that time, and the Spaniard said he was made to feel comfortable since day one.

"I'm delighted. I feel comfortable here in this environment, with the owners, the players, the supporters. I am happy to stay here. I am proud to belong to this club, our club," he said.

"From my beginning it was the same - all the people helping me to do my job. I have tried to do my best from the beginning, and I got the feeling I am part of this family. I like to be here.

"In this moment, we have a very good squad, and I would like to keep all these players to build up something special."
