Former Chelsea and Leicester City boss
Claudio Ranieri
has arrived at
Watford
's training ground after agreeing to become the
Premier League club's new manager, Sky Sports reported on Monday.
Ranieri, who famously led Leicester to the league title in the 2015-16 season, is expected to sign a contract with Watford later on Monday.
The 69-year-old, who left Serie A club
Sampdoria
at the end of last season, will replace
Xisco Munoz
after the Spaniard left Watford a day after their 1-0 defeat at Leeds United.
Italian Ranieri could bring a wealth of experience to Watford, having previously managed Atletico Madrid, AS Roma, Juventus and Inter Milan.
Watford are 15th in the Premier League on seven points from seven matches, four points above the relegation zone. They next play second-placed Liverpool at home on October 16 after the international break.
