As reported by The Athletic UK, Italian coach Claudio Ranieri (70) was sacked by Watford leaders on Monday, three and a half months after coming on the bench. The English club, 19th in the Championship, formalized the information.
During his tenure at Watford, Ranieri only managed to pick up seven points, including a valuable 4-1 win over Manchester United at Vicarage Road in November. Since this last success, Watford have only managed to take a single point, in the draw (1-1) against Newcastle on January 15.
