Fulham: Slavisa Jokanovic out - Claudio Ranieri in

    Fulham have sacked Slavisa Jokanovic and immediately replaced him with new manager Claudio Ranieri.

    The Cottagers currently sit bottom of the Premier League table with five points from 12 matches.

    Italian Ranieri, 67, has been given a "multi-year" contract by the Londoners. He guided Leicester City to the Premier League title in 2016.

    Jokanovic, who joined the club in December 2015, led Fulham to promotion via the play-offs last season.

    But they have so far registered just one win on their return to the Premier League after four seasons in the Championship.
