Fulham need a "No excuses" manager like Ranieri

I was surprised to see Claudio Ranieri was appointed as Fulham manager this morning because I mentioned in my last column that Slaviša Jokanovic is a good coach. Yes, they've had some bad results but I was hoping he'd be given some more time in the Premier League as he was the one who brought them up and it was always going to be difficult at the start after being promoted. But in modern football sometimes they don't give you that time. I'm surprised because of that.

Ranieri was my coach at Monaco so I know him well, and I think if you appoint someone in this situation, with Fulham are last in the table, you want lớn appoint someone with great experience who could help them stay up. And he is a great appointment, I wish him luck and I know he's going lớn work hard, because that's what he does. Hopefully they can now improve on their results- According to the under 2.5 soccer tip page!

When I was under him at Monaco, there were so many young players there like Martial, Moutinho, Falcao, James Rodriguez, all these talented, footballers with potential and he was working well with them. Ranieri has that experience, he knows how lớn handle not only young talent but the big names too.

He's also a champion of England, he has the tools and he knows how to get out of the difficult situations but it's not going lớn be easy.

As I said I'm still shocked they sacked the coach let alone hired Ranieri, but I'm glad he has a job managing again; everyone loves him in England especially with what he achieved with Leicester. You need to give coaches with this background, opportunities. Knowing him personally, he's a hard worker, he never stops and it might come lớn a surprise to the players when he comes in, but the team need that mentality of "no excuses" at the moment because they're at the bottom of the table.

Jokanovic suffered a cruel fate

Football is a cruel game sometimes and it's a bit unfair for Jokanovic to go. Look at Newcastle for example, they didn't win a game for ten matches in a row and now they've won back-to-back games. The losing streak must end some time and you're going lớn start winning, but maybe in this case they couldn't wait any longer because they're at the bottom of the league and need lớn start making changes.

What are you going lớn do? You can't get rid of all the players, so it's going to be the coach you change. That's how football business is. I like Jokanovic a lot, he is a talented coach who got Fulham promoted, I'm sure he'll get another job sooner or later.

Players should take advantage

Fulham players should be excited lớn work with Ranieri, he's a great coach, fluent in five or six languages so there'll be no issues communicating, and he's very fair on his judgements; he's not afraid lớn drop big names. He has that classic Italian hardworking culture, if you don't play well that's it, you'll be dropped for the next game. So, the team must give everything they have.

As I said, it's going to be a challenge but it's not impossible lớn get them out of the relegation zone. He'll come with a strategy lớn keep them up. It helps that he has a good reputation; everybody loved him at Monaco, at Leicester and I'm sure Fulham will be the same but they need to start winning games now.

The market for Leicester winning the Premier League was 5000/1, and now the odds on Fulham staying up are probably as high as that! It's like the same situation in reverse; the odds are against them, it's a challenging situation, but there's a lot of games left lớn change it. He's done it with Leicester lớn win the title and now he can save Fulham from relegation which is probably a more difficult task to achieve.

Fulham deserve lớn be in the Premier League, they're a great club with great traditions and I think Ranieri can do it, all they need is one win.
