Head Coach Valérien Ismaël has signed an extended contract with Watford FC, the club is pleased to confirm.
While the deal’s details remain broadly the same, the Hornets have moved to lock in the services of the former France youth international for a longer period of time.
“The Owner, the Board and all of the senior management team have enjoyed getting to know and understanding Valérien and his methods,” said Sporting Director Cristiano Giaretta.
“It’s true we haven’t achieved the points we would like yet, but it’s the work and the progress we can see that gives us great confidence.”
He added: “It’s like others have said this season; you can feel and sense that we are changing here and there is a positive atmosphere everywhere.
“We have told the first-team players and staff who have reacted positively, so now we all must focus on our work – the match at Sunderland tomorrow night.”
