During the 2001–02 English football season, Watford competed in the Football League First Division.
In the 2001-02 season, Gianluca Vialli was named as Taylor's managerial replacement. Vialli made several high-profile signings, and wage bills at the club soared, with Vialli himself earning almost a million pounds a year. However, the season was disappointing, with the club finishing 14th in the division, and Vialli was sacked after only one season, having refused to resign.
