Ranieri was appointed in November after the exit of Slavisa Jokanovic, who guided the Cottagers to victory in last season's Championship play-off final. The Italian beat Southampton 3-2 in his first game in charge but has only won twice more among 11 league defeats.
In total, he took charge of 17 games, losing 11 and drawing three, with all three wins coming at home against opposition currently in the bottom five of the Premier League.

To make matters worse, striker Aboubakar Kamara was sacked after fighting with training ground staff in December.
It is certainly a far cry from the comparisons drawn between Fulham and the Leicester City side Ranieri took over in July 2015. Since leading Leicester to the title, the 67-year-old has been sacked by the Foxes while on the verge of a relegation battle and failed to revitalise Fulham, with a one-season stint at Ligue 1 outfit Nantes in between.Liverpool ‘make decision’ on sacking Arne Slot
