Watford have reappointed their former boss Quique Sanchez Flores as head coach following Javi Gracia's dismissal.
The Hornets announced the changes in two separate statements on social media. They've managed to score just two goals so far and have not won in eight league matches stretching back to April.
"Javi has represented Watford with great dignity and will always be deserving of our fullest respect for his achievements," said chairman and chief executive Scott Duxbury.
"Javi Gracia's staff will also be leaving the club, ahead of the imminent appointment of a new coaching team.
"Everyone at the Hornets wishes Javi and his staff all the very best for the future, and they will always be welcome visitors in the future at Vicarage Road."
Within half an hour Watford had announced Gracia's replacement, and it meant a surprise return for Sanchez Flores.
The 54-year-old came back for a second spell having guided them to a comfortable mid-table finish during the 2015/16 campaign on the club's return to the Premier League.
