Quique Sanchez Flores to leave Watford at end of season

Quique Sanchez Flores to leave Watford at end of season
Watford head coach Quique Sanchez Flores will leave the club when the season ends on Sunday.

The Hornets are currently 13th in the Premier League table with one match remaining.
Sanchez Flores only moved to Vicarage Road last June, and has comfortably kept the team in the top flight, following promotion last year.
A club statement read: “Quique Sanchez Flores will leave Vicarage Road at the end of the season following the Sunderland game this weekend.
“We would like to thank Quique. He and the team achieved the target set them at the start of the season of staying in the Premier League for a second year.
“Quique leaves with all our best wishes for the future and the knowledge he is always welcome at Vicarage Road.”
Flores, who replaced Slavisa Jokanovic during the summer of 2015, led the club to the semi-finals of the FA Cup before losing to Crystal Palace at Wembley.
Under Flores, Watford won eight of their opening 17 Premier League matches, and a 3-0 victory over Liverpool in December lifted them to within one point of the Champions League qualification places.


But since then, they have struggled for consistency and have won only four league matches during a stuttering second half to the season.
Flores becomes the seventh manager to depart Watford since the Pozzo family completed their takeover of the club in 2012.
At Friday’s pre-match press conference, Flores explained: “Yesterday, I had a meeting with the club and after that I confirmed that the club and I don’t have the same point of view about the season.
“So, we don’t have the necessary conditions to activate the clause to renew the contract. My contract ends on June 8 and then I will leave Watford, this is the consequence.
“I’m very grateful to the players, I love these Watford fans, I felt completely happy this year and I enjoyed the experience.
“We have a lot of reasons to be happy, so a lot of good memories of this season. The Watford fans were amazing and they gave me a lot of love.”

Samsung to give Korean Note 7 owners a 50% discount on Note 8

Samsung is offering Note 7 owners in South Korea the chance to upgrade their phone to a Note 8 for half the price when the as-yet-unannounced handset becomes available next year. According to a report from Reuters, the company announced the deal as part of an ongoing exchange program for the Note 7 in its home country, but there’s no word on whether the same offer will be made in the US. In a statement on Monday, Samsung said customers who trade in their Note 7 phone for either a flat-screen or curved-screen version of the Galaxy S7 can trade up for a Galaxy S8 or Note 8 smartphone launching next year through an upgrade programme. The news seemingly confirms that Samsung will be continuing the Note line despite the disaster of the Note 7, which was permanently discontinued earlier this month. According to Reuters, Note 7 owners in Korea will only have to pay half the price of a Galaxy S7 to get their hands on a Galaxy S8 or Note 8 next year. When Samsung was asked if the sa...
