Watford Football Club is an English football club from Watford, Hertfordshire. They will play in the 2013–14 Football League Championship, for the seventh consecutive season since relegation from the Premier League in 2006–07. The team manager is Giuseppe Sannino.

Gianfranco Zola replaced Sean Dyche as Watford manager at the end of the 2011–12 season following Sean Dyche's dismissal. Following the successful takeover of Watford by the Pozzo family, Watford loaned a significant number of players on season-long deals from fellow Pozzo-owned clubs Udinese and Granada. The use of a large number of loan players drew criticism from both the media and fellow managers, taking a stance that using a large number of loan players from a few clubs should not be allowed. However, despite the number of loanees at the club, Watford maintained their traditional use of academy players; Watford used the second-most academy players after Middlesbrough, utilising eight different academy players throughout the season.

Watford will spend the early part of their pre-season in the village of Mals in Northern Italy, attending a pre-season training camp and playing friendly fixtures before playing more fixtures in the UK
