Hail to the return of the Emperor Claudio Rainieri to the ranks of Premiership, after the Italian making history a few campaigns ago with the unthinkable of winning the league with an underdog squad in Leicester City.
That was then and now after his feat in Leicestershire back in 2015-16 to the next campaign-he left the club after odd results but in Champions making another historic run but fell short of reaching the finals after its elimination in Quarterfinals.
Ever since the promotion of the Cottagers to the ranks of Premiership these have struggled to adapt and maintain afloat above the relegation spots which these are currently situated dead last in the bottom of the table.
Still the arrival of the Emperor did went unnoticed with a win at home in Craven Cottage over the visiting and troubled Southampton Saints to a score of 3-2, restoring the confidence back to his side in need of an overhaul.
However, this new endeavor for Rainieri will not be a walk in the park in spite of his side winning its first game under his tenure but the outlook and challenges ahead looking a bit difficult but not impossible.
His first order of business in the weekend playing against the Chelsea Blues reviving their old rivalry in the always contested Fulham Derby as these neighboring squads are back in another edition of the London Derby.
However, the work of the Italian is to save the destinies of the Lilywhites and maintain them in the top circuit of Premiership in another defying test in his career to return the lost confidence of the Cottagers.
As the owner of this squad Shahid Khan in need of a turnaround for his squad and in reminiscence of its June celebrations after his side winning a promotion to Premiership had to deliver a solution and Rainieri was his solution.
Proof is on this weekend win after the Cottagers winning their match over struggling Southampton, shows that magic that this squad was in need as the resources and tactics tried by Slavissa Jokanovic that in the end were not effective in Premiership.
Still the road ahead for the Italian coming from La Ligue after a brief stint with Nantes, the Emperor after the offer from Khan in the end he could not refuse and make another return to the best associations in the world.
For the newly appointed Claudio Ranieri its business as usual and by taking this new challenge gladly we are to see how he will leveled this troubled squad campaign and finish with a prolific positon that will ensure their permanency in the big circuit.
