Claudio Ranieri is back for a fourth spell in Premier League management, with the 69-year-old Italian being appointed as Xisco Munoz’s successor at Watford.

The Hornets have become the first club in the English top-flight to make a change in their dugout this season, with a difficult start leaving them on seven points from as many games.

Vast experience is being turned to, with Ranieri bringing title-winning know-how  to Vicarage Road.

Ranieri has been out of work since leaving Serie A side Sampdoria at the end of the 2020-21 campaign.

Watford have brought the Italian on board as memories remain fresh in England of the stunning title triumph he oversaw at Leicester in 2015-16.
