Espanyol appoint Quique Sanchez Flores

Former Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores was confirmed as Espanyol's new coach on Thursday.

The Hornets released the Spaniard at the end of last season, opting not to offer him a new contract, despite Watford finishing a respectable 13th in the league. 

Espanyol will be his new home ahead of next season, with the club's Chinese owners hoping the 51-year-old can improve the club's fortunes.
