Claudio Ranieri graciously wished good luck to Fulham successor Scott Parker but blamed his dismissal on ‘unbelievable’ bad luck.
Ranieri was sacked by Fulham on Thursday after just three wins from 17 games, but the Italian bore no ill-feeling towards the Cottagers, instead rueing how ‘every shot against us was a goal’.
“I thanked all the players for their efforts. That is football and good luck,” the 67-year-old told Sky Sports.

“I hope [Parker does well] because he is a very good guy. He is very attentive. I wish him all the best.
“I don’t know [why things went wrong]. In 2018, we did a very good job with some good points and after it was unbelievable.
“Every shot [against us] was a goal. For us it was very hard to get back. Also, when we scored early we would then concede a goal and draw or lose the match.
“This is football, it’s okay.”
