Claudio Ranieri is back in the Premier League, taking charge of his fourth different club in the competition after being appointed as Watford's new head coach.
The 69-year-old Italian replaces Xisco Munoz, who left Vicarage Road on Sunday after the Hornets' fourth defeat in their opening seven matches, at Leeds United.
Ranieri joins Watford on a two-year deal.
He is one of 11 managers who have won the Premier League title, having led Leicester City to their incredible success in 2015/16.
