(Reuters) – Watford head coach Javi Gracia signed a new four and a half year contract to keep him at Vicarage Road until 2023, the Premier League club said Wednesday.
The 48-year-old Spaniard joined Watford in January for an 18-month contract, replacing Marco Silva who is now at Everton.
Watford, ninth on 20 points after 13 games, made a good start to the season by winning his first four league games, including a thrilling victory over Tottenham Hotspur.
"I am very happy to extend my contract," said Gracia, whose new contract includes a three-year extension option.
"I'm very proud right now to be part of this club and to stay here for more seasons."
Watford, who has not won a league title in three games, will travel to Leicester City, 10th in the world on Saturday.
