Ranieri praises Fulham predecessor Jokanvic

Fulham have had a terrible time of it in the Premier League this season, sitting bottom of the division having conceded 31 times in just 11 games.

Chairman Shahid Khan made the decision to relieve Jokanovic of his duties and bring in the former Leicester boss on Thursday, as the 'Cottagers' look to turn their season around.

£Joka was a fantastic player, and in his start as manager has done very good things." the Italian, who bought Jokanvoic when he was manager of Chelsea, said.

"I think he did fantastic things here, but that is our life as a manager.

"When something goes badly, you have to change. It happened to me at Leicester, and not only Leicester, that is normal."
