 Claudio Ranieri has been sacked by Watford after just three months in charge, with the club lying 19th in the Premier League. Ranieri has failed to turn around the team's fortunes since being appointed in October, with the Hornets dropping into the Premier League relegation zone for the first time this season after Friday's 3-0 home defeat to fellow strugglers Norwich. Asked about his future after the loss to the Canaries, the former Leicester and Chelsea manager said: "I don't go away. I want to continue because I am a fighter. I've never given up in my career." |

Managers don't get long at Watford.
I thought we were bad, but they're ridiculous.

Former England boss Roy Hodgson has worked with the Pozzo family before during a short stint with Udinese in 2001 which ended with his dismissal following 17 matches.
The 74-year-old is expected to take trusty assistant Ray Lewington, a former Watford manager, with him to Vicarage Road.
Upon announcing his departure from Selhurst Park, the former Liverpool manager was eager to play down talk of retirement.
"It is a dangerous thing to start making bold statements about retirement and this is the end of me," Hodgson said at the time.
"I really don't know, I am certainly not leaving Crystal Palace with the idea of putting myself back on the market and trying to get another job, I really am stepping down from the club and stepping away from football for a while but who knows what the future will be."
Back in December, Hodgson hinted further he could be back in the dugout soon after he was recognised at the Sports Journalists' Association British Sports Awards.
He said: "I don't know how long I shall continue to be able to watch football without missing it. I'm working hard on that at the moment but I must say I chose the right time to move aside (from Crystal Palace).
"But you can always hope there will be some jobs along the way that people will invite you to participate in, so you don't have to get the slippers and the pipe out every single day."
