Ryan Sessegnon has written an emotional social media post to fired Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic.

Jokanovic was fired this morning and immediately replaced by Claudio Ranieri, the club announced.

Fulham have only won one game this season despite a summer spending spree.

Sessegnon has been a regular under Jokanovic and has seen his career benefit from Jokanovic showing faith in him, to great success in the Championship last season.

He made his debut under Jokanovic, starring for the Fulham first team at just 16.

Fulham’s decision to sack Jokanovic fits somewhere between ruthless and necessary.

On one hand Jokanovic would have liked more faith from the club for what he achieved last season, but results were trending in a terrible direction.

Fulham are bottom of the league, with the worst goal difference.

If they were going to make the change, it is better to have done so early, before their situation becomes irreversible.
