Watford finished the Championship season in 16th place, 16 points behind Hull City, who finished in the final play-off spot. Still leaves the club having won just 20% of his matches in charge.
"I don't always want to be known as a club that is nice. In certain moments you need to be quite resilient in personal duels. There are different ways of being resilient, of using a block, different techniques to win one-v-one duels - especially at set-pieces."
From the beginning of the season I told the players our goal was 40 points. The chairman, Vichai, told me it was important to stay up. When we got to 40 points, I said to the players: Try to get into Europe because it would be a great experience.
