Quique Flores: 'My job is complete at Watford'

Watford manager Quique Flores has said that he is satisfied with what he has achieved in his solitary season in charge of the club.

The Hornets comfortably survived in the Premier League for the first time ever thanks largely to their form over the first half of the campaign, while Flores also steered them to an FA Cup semi-final.

However, the Spaniard will leave the club at the end of the season, and he hopes to have left a solid foundation on which his successor can build.

"My job is absolutely complete. The only target we had is to keep the team in the category and the way we did this was amazing. We didn't suffer, we enjoyed it, we didn't suffer against the big teams. Always I feel we are in the right way. For me, 45 points is a lot of points for a team just promoted," Flores told reporters.

"The first year is the most difficult year because to build the squad during pre-season was difficult because the players want security, they want to go to a team who is consistent. Watford was new and now Watford is not completely new. Watford now is established in a good position in the Premier League.

"So I hope for next year a lot of players are coming, more players, more quality with the base of this year. I think the normal thing for Watford next year is trying to improve the performance in the Premier League."

Flores's last game in charge of the club saw them come from behind twice to earn a 2-2 draw with Sunderland at Vicarage Road this afternoon.
