He surprisingly guided Watford to defeat Manchester United 4-1 at the Vicarage Road November last year.

But since then, the Hornets have struggled to win key matches the final blow was dealt to Ranieri’s reign last week Friday when they lost 3-0 to Norwich City.

Watford owner owner Gino Pozzo could not bear the series of poor results as he was left with no option than to terminate Ranieri’s contract.

He plunged the club deeper to the 14th position which Munoz left the club as they are now 18th on the Premier League table.

Watford was Ranieri’s fourth spell in the Premier League after previously managing Chelsea, Leicester City, and Fulham.
