The 67-year-old replaced Slavisa Jokanovic on Wednesday after Fulham, who have conceded a Premier League-high 31 goals this season, lost patience with the Serb.
Ranieri says the entire team needed to pull together to escape their plight. “As an Italian manager, for us the defensive way is the best for the team,” the former Chelsea and Roma manager who masterminded Leicester City’s fairytale title win in 2016, said in an interview on Fulham’s website. “It is important to have a strong vision of the defence.
Not just the back-end or goalkeepers, the whole team. "Ranieri's title winning season in Leicester was built on a solid defensive platform with a template ready to scramble for each point. The Italian is willing to instill values similar to the London club. "For me, team spirit is important. But I know there's a good group.
The spirit of struggle is very important ... "I hope our supporters are pushing us and we need our strength. We always need our support. We will never give up." Fulham will fire fellow Southampton on November 24 after the English Premier League resumes after international rest.
