Watford parted company with Javi Gracia at the weekend, after what was a poor start to the season.
Watford striker Troy Deeney has thanked Javi Gracia on Twitter, after the Spaniard was sacked from his post at Vicarage Road last week.
Gracia was let go by Watford with Quique Sanchez Flores coming back to the Hornets to replace him.
Gracia had done a credible job with Watford, but a poor run of form through much of 2019 saw him lose his job.
Despite making the FA Cup final, Watford have struggled for much of this year, and they currently sit at the bottom of the Premier League table.
The Hornets have taken just one point from their first four games, and the decision was made that a change-up was needed.
Deeney was the first Watford player to react to Gracia’s departure on social media, and he sent a classy message to his former manager.
Watford’s decision to let go of Gracia has seen them criticised by some pundits, who felt that he decided more time.
Sanchez Flores will be in the dugout for Watford in their next game, which comes against Arsenal at the weekend.
