Watford boss Javi Gracia says his new deal doesn't offer him any extra security.

Gracia signed a new four-and-a-half-year contract at the end of last month.

"In my opinion signing a new contract doesn't change my day or my mentality," said Gracia.

"You have to do the same every day with the same attitude, the same effort, and trying to do your best, and try to win the next game.

"That's the mentality I have with a new contract or without it, it doesn't change.

"In my opinion, the decision was because the owner, in this case, he thought it would be better for the club and for me to sign a new contract, but my commitment, my effort with the club doesn't change.

"I'm the same, knowing that as a coach it always depends on the results."
