Claudio Ranieri deserved more time and more respect from Fulham, Roy Hodgson tells talkSPORT
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.2

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.2

Parker has taken charge until the end of the season

Scott Parker has been confirmed as Ranieris interim replacement, the ex-midfielder being handed his first managerial role just two years after his retirement.And Hodgson has wished his former player good luck ahead of the Cottagers seemingly doomed relegation battle.All I can do is wish Scott Parker all the best there in his attempts, for however long he is going to be in charge, to get some points on the table, added the ex-England boss.Im pretty sure he understands hes got a tough task ahead, because hes already seen two coaches disappear in the space of just a few months.Listen to talkSPORT’s interview with Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson IN FULL above!
