Watford head coach Javi Gracia will be surrounded by familiar faces at Vicarage Road after confirming his backroom team.

Fellow Spaniards Zigor Aranalde, Juan Solla and Inigo Arteaga all worked alongside Gracia during his first spell in charge in 2018-19.

Assistant coach Aranalde was also part of Tom Cleverley's staff from February until the end of last season.

Solla and Artega will fill fitness and goalkeeping coach roles, the latter replacing Alex Brunner, who has left the club after three-and-a-half years.

Watford are still waiting for a work permit for Pablo Mandiola, who has previously worked for the academy, women's side and first-team and will be the club's video analyst.
