in early October last year, he replaced Watford’s coach – Xisco Munozwa. Somewhat unexpectedly, because this coach won the team in a very good style (second place in the Championship, only six points behind the winner – Norwich), promotion to the Premier League.
A 4: 1 win against Manchester United did not help
Claudio Ranieri took over Watford when he was fifteenth in the table. The Italian coach led the team in fourteen games. His balance is very poor – he won two matches in the league, drew one and lost ten. Raniery’s victories were, however, spectacular, because Watford defeated Everton 5: 2 and at home 4: 1. In the Premier League, however, he is currently in the penultimate place in the table, with a loss of two points to the safe zone, which guarantees keeping in the league. Watford also dropped out of the FA Cup under Raniery.
The Italian is the next coach this season to be released. Earlier, they lost their jobs, among others (Manchester United), Nuno Espirito Santo (Tottenham) and Rafael Benitez (Everton).

Ranieri returned to the Premier League after a three-year hiatus. Before that, he worked at Fulham. He has also been the coach of Chelsea, Leicester City, Valencia, Juventus, Inter Milan, Roma and Sampdoria Genoa. His greatest success was in 2016, when he sensationally won the English championship against Leicester. He was also awarded the FIFA Coach of the Year award at that time.
