In November, Fulham sacked their manager Slaviša Jokanović and replaced him with Claudio Ranieri.
The Italian has the experience of managing in England as he had spells at Chelsea and Leicester City, including a title winning campaign with the Foxes during the 2015/16 season.
Casper Stylsvig, the Cottagers chief revenue officer, sat down for an interview with Danish newspaper Politiken in London, and explained he doesn’t involve himself in the sporting decisions of the club.
Despite that, the former Manchester United head of sales revealed why Fulham decided to move quickly to appoint Ranieri as their new coach, even though they were planning to give their former manager a few more games to change things around.
“Perhaps Slavisa could have got one or two more matches, but the considerations were already upside down with probing of other coaches who were available on the market,” he said.
“He has the experience, style and gentlemanly attitude that we would like to associate with Fulham, and even though he was fired at Leicester, it is worth noting the results he delivered with Leicester…”
Earlier in December, Southampton also sacked their manager Mark Hughes and replaced him with Ralph Hasenhüttl and the Saints have enjoyed a good start under their new boss.
Fulham, meanwhile, are still at the bottom of the table, even after Ranieri’s appointment. 
It should be seen if he can help the club avoid relegation this season.
