Axed manager Claudio Ranieri should have been given more time and more respect by Fulham following his departure after just 106 days in charge.Thats according to Roy Hodgson, who has told talKSPORT he is very disappointed with his former club over their treatment of the Italian.Premier League-winning Ranieri was hailed as a risk-free appointment by Fulham owner Shad Khan when he replaced Slavisa Jokanovic in November – yet he lasted just three-and-a-half months after failing to spark a turnaround in form.
2MORE:Fulham ‘crazy’ to sack Claudio Ranieri after 106 days in charge, blasts Ian Holloway
Coaches have been sacked for less in todays hire-and-fire climate, but Hodgson is not happy Fulham have decided to give Ranieri the boot so soon after his arrival.Its very sad, the Crystal Palace manager told talkSPORT at the London Football Awards.I was sad for Fulham football club because thats not the way Im happy to see them operate, and Im very sad for Claudio Ranieri, whom I know well and I think deserves an enormous amount of respect. I think Claudio Ranieri deserves a little more respect on his return to the Premier League than getting two or three months before he is sent out again.Certainly everyone in England should have a lot of respect for him, because to win the league with Leicester so recently and to find yourself catapulted into a job and a team that is obviously struggling, and then find yourself catapulted out after two or three months, I think thats very, very harsh.Im disappointed for him and Im disappointed that the club has felt it necessary to take that decision.
