Claudio Ranieri has replaced Slavisa Jokanovic as Fulham manager with immediate effect.
Ranieri has signed a multi-year contract at Fulham in what is his first job back in the Premier League since managing Leicester City, who he guided to the Premier League title in 2016.
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.

Fulham owner Shahid Khan said he held talks with a number of candidates to replace Jokanovic over the last week, but that Ranieri was a “risk-free”appointment.
Until leading Leicester to an unlikely title, Ranieri had an unwanted record of never winning a league title as a manager despite a career spanning a host of top European clubs.
