Gianfranco Zola was at the Vicarage Road helm for a total of 66 league games and won almost 44 per cent of matches in the Championship.

The former Hornets head coach led Watford to 29 victories since the start of the 2012/13 season, oversaw 15 draws and 22 defeats. Those matches saw more than 200 goals netted, with 115 scored by Watford and 86 conceded.

When Zola’s record is broken down into home and away matches, the Hornets enjoyed marginally more success on the road under his tenure.

Watford won a total of 53 points (15 wins, eight draws and ten defeats) on their travels under the Chelsea legend compared to 49 at Vicarage Road (14 wins, seven draws, 12 defeats).
