Claudio Ranieri replaces Xisco Munoz to manage Watford

Claudio Ranieri is the Golden Boy's new hope in the Premier League after the former replaces previous Xisco Munoz as club manager on Monday. Standing 15th with seven points over seven opening Premier League matches, Watford plans to take measures starting with sacking Xisco Munoz to increase their favorable odds in the League. The former Leicester boss who led the team to the 2016 Premier League title is reported to join the Vicarage Road in a two-year contract as the head coach.

The signing marks the return of the 69-year-old Italian following the exit from Sampdoria. Also, the 10 months tenure of Xisco with the Hornets ended on Sunday makes Ranieri the 13th permanent manager of the club since 2012. Ranieri's experience with many top-tier clubs including Napoli, Fiorentina, Valencia, Juventus, Roma, Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, and Fulham is what makes his return noteworthy and hope for Watford to turn the tables in the coming match against Liverpool.
