Watford have announced Javi Gracia as their new head coach after the surprise departure of Marco Silva.
The 47-year-old takes charge at Vicarage Road on an 18-month contract after spells in Greece, Spain and most recently Russia.
His arrival was confirmed just eight hours after the Hornets announced they were parting company with Silva after a poor run of form in the Premier League.
Silva was widely praised after he led Watford to eighth position after 13 games and just four points off the top four places.
