After previously managing Inter and Napoli, Walter Mazzarri took a year off before joining Watford. The Tuscan manager talked about his experience in England as well as the Niang acquisition in an interview to Gazzetta dello Sport:"I wanted to challenge myself and face a new experience. The Premier League has always fascinated me, I had a few offers but I picked Watford because I found myself agreeing with president Gino Pozzo's ideas. I just asked for one thing: a constant and direct contact with him. Niang? I was happy to hear he picked the club also because of me, I appreciated that he adapted quickly to our dimension. The results are in line with what the club asked for, avoid relegation and develop players
