Kenny Jackett: 'I never considered return to Watford'

Jackett: 'Watford return was not considered'

Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Kenny Jackett has insisted that he never considered the possibility of returning to Watford.

Oscar Garcia was named as Giuseppe Sannino's successor at Vicarage Road earlier this week, and Jackett claims that calls from Watford's supporters for him to take the job were just speculation.

"No it is not something that I have thought about or considered since I left," the Wolves boss told reporters. "It is my home town club, definitely, but in the circumstances all of my energies and my focus are quite rightly on Wolves.

"I think it is an exciting time to be at Wolves. It is an exciting project that is developing well."

Jackett made over 300 appearances for Watford during his playing career, and was also manager for a short spell between 1996 and 1997.
