"Watford", the club occupying the last place in the English "Premier" League, showed their confidence in coach Adrian Boothroyd by signing a new three-year contract with him, despite his team only managing to secure five wins in the "Premier" League this year and already facing relegation to the lower "Championship" League next year. The youngest coach in the "Premier" League, who is only 36 years old, committed to stay at "Vicarage Road" until 2010 by signing a three-year contract. A. Boothroyd became the "Watford" manager in March 2005, replacing Ray Lewington in the head coach position. "I think loyalty works both ways. I am extremely excited to tie my immediate future to the Watford club, which can achieve great things," said the coach to the club's official website. "I see nothing but good results in the future because we have great ambitions." "I feel very happy that I can continue working with the club president, general manager, and leadership, who have allowed me to continue the work that I really need," added A. Boothroyd. "Watford" team president Graham Simpson added: "Aidy has built a great relationship with our fans and worked really hard to help the Watford club reach the Premier League and understood everything we wanted from him." Next season, "Watford" will play in the "Championship" League. The team will no longer have one of the leaders, goalkeeper Ben Foster, who will return to the English champions "Man Utd" after the end of his loan agreement."
