AN angry Luca Vialli hit out at the Watford board after his sacking, suggesting he had not been given enough time to revive the Vicarage Road club's fortunes.

"I am very disappointed by the decision, especially as my work at Watford is still in its early stages," said the former Hornets' boss in a statement.

"I have been very co-operative towards the club and they have tried to bring the best coaching staff to assist me.

"I also wish to record my thanks to the fans for their continuous support."
