Watford Manager Quique Sanchez Flores Reveals He Is Sir Elton John's 'No. 1 Fan'

Quique Sanchez Flores has endeared himself to the fans in his short time as manager at Vicarage Road, and it looks as though he's found a friend in honorary club president Sir Elton John as well.

The 50-year-old Watford manager has said he will perform a duet with the singer if his side avoids the drop this year, and he revealed that he met John after the Premier League win over Newcastle last month.

In an interview with Marca (via Pete Jenson of the Daily Mail), the former Atletico Madrid and Valencia boss said his catch-up with John was "brilliant."

"I am his No. 1 fan.  I have always been passionate about him and to suddenly have him tell me that he likes the work I am doing and that he is very grateful was extraordinary."

Watford are 11th after 12 games in the Premier League, and they face Manchester United on Saturday.
