Premier League club Watford released official news yesterday local time that coach Lanieri from Italy is no longer in charge of the team's coaching position.

"Watford has officially confirmed that Claudio Ranieri has stepped down as head coach of the first team," Watford said in a statement.

"Mr Claudio is definitely one of the most respected managers in world football, and his dedication and contribution will ultimately be remembered by the club and fans."

Watford Club also said, "However, with half of the Premier League schedule remaining this season, the club believes that the change of the manager's position will allow the new manager to have enough time to familiarize himself with the team's style. Continue to lead a great team to the goal of staying in the Premier League."

Looking back at the past record, the Hornets have only scored 7 points in 13 games after taking charge of Watford. After the first 20 rounds, Watford only accumulated 14 points, ranking second to last in the Premier League standings. In addition, it has only been 112 days since Ranney took over as Watford's manager.
