Fulham manager Claudio Ranieri insists they must need to have patience if they are to overturn their current form.
Having taken over the reign from Slavisa Jokanovic, the Italian manager will have his first test when Fulham host Southampton in the Premier League. Jokanovic managed just one win in the top flight leading the Cottagers to the bottom of the Premier League table.
Ranieri earlier had the experience to handle this kind of situation when he was called on by Chelsea to clear the mess at the Stamford Bridge following the dismissal of then manager Jose Mourinho.
The manager who also guided Leicester City to their first Premier League title believes they need to keep up the work in a bid to achieve positive results. “We must be calm and continue to work because it’s not possible to change everything in one night.
“It’s important to get points, but it’s also important to maintain our mentality and never, never give up, not just the match but for the whole season. At the end we’ll be same I’m sure.”
“It’s important all my players are available.
“I may start with one line-up and I can change.
“Remember at Leicester I started without N’Golo Kante, Danny Simpson and Christian Fuchs but slowly, slowly it was good.
“For me, it’s important now to choose my first 11, but it’s important the other players don’t go down, they have an opportunity. At the end if we go down everybody goes down.”
“We must show a fighting spirit. It’s not easy to change direction but it’s important to try altogether and to be with good spirit and attentive tactically.”
