LONDON, June 5 (Reuters) - Watford named former Atletico Madrid and Valencia coach Quique Sanchez Flores as manager on Friday, the newly-promoted Premier League club said on their website.
The 50-year-old Spaniard has signed a two-year contract at Vicarage Road and will be assisted by Alberto Diaz and Antonio Carlavilla.
He takes over from Serbian Slavisa Jokanovic who left Watford after securing their promotion to the top flight last month as Championship runners-up.
"I'm proud to have had the chance to help put this club back where they truly deserve to be. I wish you all the best in the future," Jokanovic, who joined the club on a short-term contract in October, said on Twitter after his replacement was confirmed.
