Giuseppe Sannino has surprisingly resigned as manager of Watford, leaving the Hornets sitting second in the Championship.

Despite Watford’s fine start to the season, the 57-year-old Italian said he had done as much as he could, having taken over the club in December last year.

“I took over a very talented squad when I arrived but they were boys in many ways”, Sannino said on Watford’s official website.

“I’m proud of what we have achieved and I have no doubt that the squad now, who look very much like men who know exactly what they must do, are very capable of getting promotion from this tough Championship league.

“I know I have given everything to Watford. I have given my heart and soul to the job and I have been happy to do this because of the wonderful support I have received from everyone – and most of all the fans, who are truly amazing.

“However, I feel I have gone as far as I can so, for the benefit of me and the club, I feel the time is right for me to move on.”

A brief statement from the club said: “Watford FC wishes to thank Beppe Sannino for all that he has achieved while with the club, wishes him well for his future in football and extends an open invitation to Beppe and his family as guests of the Hornets at any future matches.”
