Gracia happy at Watford, but plans Spain return in the future

Despite assuring Hornets fans that he's not thinking leaving this summer, he is attracted by the idea of coaching in his homeland

Although rumours have arisen linking Javi Gracia with a return to Spain, the Watford manager has assured Hornets fans he has no intention to return this summer.

In his first full season as boss, Gracia has led Watford to 11th in the Premier League and to the FA Cup final at Wembley, where they’ll play Manchester City on Saturday.

But, while the 49-year-old acknowledged he’d like to coach in his homeland someday, Gracia said his immediate future is with Watford as his family has just settled into life in England.
