Watford Football Club is an English football club from Watford, Hertfordshire. They played in the 2013–14 Football League Championship, for the seventh consecutive season since relegation from the Premier League in 2006–07.[3] The manager was Giuseppe Sannino.

Background

Gianfranco Zola replaced Sean Dyche as Watford manager at the end of the 2011–12 season following Sean Dyche's dismissal.[4] Following the takeover of Watford by the Pozzo family, Watford loaned a significant number of players on season-long deals from fellow Pozzo-owned clubs Udinese and Granada.[5] The use of a large number of loan players drew criticism from fellow managers,[6] who argued that a large number of loan players from a few clubs should not be allowed. However, despite the number of loanees at the club, Watford used the second-most academy players after Middlesbrough, using eight different academy players throughout the season.[7]

Pre-season

Watford attended a pre-season training camp in northern Italy and played friendly fixtures before playing more fixtures in the UK[8][9]
