St Albans wish Mariappa well
- Published
Adrian Mariappa will be part of the interim coaching team overseeing Watford's game at Hull City on Tuesday evening - despite playing for another club.
The 39-year-old played 340 games in two spells for Watford during his career, and is now an academy coach, but still turns out for St Albans City in the Isthmian League Premier Division, making seven appearances this season.
"After the news of Javi Gracia's departure at Watford FC, Adrian Mariappa, alongside Charlie Daniels and Dan Gosling, will be taking charge of Watford FC in their game against Hull City," St Albans posted on X.
"We wish him the best of luck, and look forward to welcoming him back."
Under-21 coach Daniels says he is "honoured" to have been asked to take charge of Watford, who are in the process of finding Gracia's successor.
He told the club website: "It's great I have Mapps and Dan with me. They know the club inside out. They are both passionate about this club and hungry for the opportunity."
