Ranieri takes over at Fulham
LONDON. — Fulham appointed Italian veteran Claudio Ranieri as manager yesterday after sacking Slavisa Jokanovic in a bid to beat the drop from the English Premier League.
Jokanovic led Fulham back into England’s top flight football in May 2018 but the 50-year-old Serbian has struggled to adapt to life in the Premier League.
Jokanovic has been sacked after one win from Fulham’s opening 12 league matches following their promotion from the Championship, leaving them bottom of the table.
Ranieri was a “risk-free” appointment. It is understood Jokanovic was told about his dismissal via a phone call from Fulham owner Shahid Khan yesterday morning. — AFP.
