Claudio Ranieri: Is new Watford manager the right man for the job?

Claudio Ranieri is back in the Premier League after being appointed as Watford manager.

The 69-year-old Italian has managed four teams - including Fulham - since being sacked by Leicester nine months after leading them to the Premier League title in 2016.

He replaces promotion-winning Xisco Munoz, who was the 13th manager to leave Watford since the Pozzo family took over as owners in 2012.

Will Ranieri be a success? How has he done in recent years? And does Watford's policy of changing managers work?

Ranieri has had more than 20 jobs over a 35-year managerial career and has led some big clubs - Napoli, Fiorentina, Valencia, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Juventus, Roma, Inter Milan and Monaco.
