Fulham simultaneously appoint Claudio Ranieri manager and sack Slavisa Jokanovic

Fulham have appointed Claudio Ranieri as Manager , simultaneously announcing that the previous incumbent Slavisa Jakanovic has been sacked.

In a highly unusual move, Fulham made the double announcement on the club's website on Wednesday morning.

Ranieri's last job in England saw him sensationally lead Leicester City to the premier league tittle , and he said of his return to the premier league: "It is an honour to accept Mr. (Shahid) Khan 's invitation and opportunity to lead Fulham , a fantastic club with tradition and history," Ranieri said.

"The objective of Fulham should never be to merely survive in the premier league. We must at all times be a different opponent and should expect to succeed. This Fulham squad has exceptional talents that are contrary to it's position in the table. I know this team is very capable of better performances, which we will work on straight away as we prepare for Southampton at the Cottage."

Khan was quoted as saying: "I wasn't anticipating having to make this announcement related to Slavisa and wish the circumstances were such that I didn't have to , but our path this season has made me to make what I know is the correct decision ,, at the right time, for our players , the club , and our supporters".

"Slavisa Jokanovic will always have my appreciation and respect for everything he did to return Fulham to top-flight football. I am hoping everyone in the Fulham family shares my heartfelt sentiments for Slavisa and joins me in wishing him success and good fortune, wherever his next stop may be."

Jokanovic had been incharge since 2015 and led Fulham to the Premier League via the play-offs in may.
