Claudio Ranieri returns to coaching after being appointed by Fulham
The English club, bottom of the table, sacked Slavisa Jokanovic on Wednesday
Fulham have appointed Claudio Ranieri as their new manager after sacking Slavisa Jokanovic on Wednesday.
Ranieri last coached Leicester City, leading them to the Premier league title in 2016.
"Making a change without having the right answer or succession plan was not an option," said Fulham chairman Shahid Khan.
"So having someone of Claudio's calibre ready to accept our challenge was comforting but, most of all, essential.
"Claudio is risk-free and ready-made for the Premier League, and particularly so for what we need at this moment at Fulham.
"His recent body of work with Leicester City is literally legendary, and then you look at Claudio's experience with Chelsea and big clubs throughout Europe, and it's pretty evident we are welcoming an extraordinary football man to Fulham Football Club."
Shahid Khan today announced that he has appointed Claudio Ranieri as Manager of Fulham Football Club, replacing Slaviša Jokanović.
