‘Fake news’ – Arsene Wenger dismisses AC Milan linksIn their statement on Ranieri, Fulham wrote: “Khan said he and his son Tony Khan, Vice Chairman and Director of Football Operations at FFC, considered and spoke with a number of potential candidates within the past week, with Ranieri becoming their mutual and obvious choice.“Tony Khan and his staff will continue to oversee first team player recruitment and contractual agreements, and he will work closely with Ranieri.”On Ranieri’s appointment, Shahid Khan said: “The objective of Fulham should never be to merely survive in the Premier League. We must at all times be a difficult opponent and should expect to succeed.“This Fulham squad has exceptional talent that is contrary to its position in the table. I know this team is very capable of better performances.” “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 Claudios experience with Chelsea and big clubs throughout Europe, and its pretty evident we are welcoming an extraordinary football man to Fulham Football Club.”Ranieri is best known for guiding Leicester to a spectacular Premier League title win in the 2015/16 season, however, he was also Chelsea boss earlier in his managerial career.Jokanovic was actually the Italian’s first signing at Stamford Bridge in 2000.Since Ranieri’s appointment at Craven Cottage, Fulham have been linked with out of favour Liverpool defender Joel Matip as they look to tighten up their defence which has conceded 31 goals in 12 league games.3

Can Ranieri perform similar heroics at Fulham like he did at Leicester?
