'Tinkerman' Claudio Ranieri jokes he is 'still YOUNG' - despite turning 70 next week - in his first presentation as Watford boss - and the Italian reveals he will take his squad out to dinner if they keep a clean sheet vs Liverpool!

Claudio Ranieri is adamant that age is just a number days out from his 70th birthday on his first presentation as Watford boss.

Ranieri arrives at Vicarage Road as successor to Xisco Munoz, who was axed seven games into the season.

While Ranieri famously guided Leicester City to the league title in 2015-16, it was a much more sobering experience with Fulham across 2018-19 where he won just three of 17 matches.

Asked if he felt any weariness in returning to English football's top-flight, Ranieri laughed it off and insisted he feels fresh and raring to go.
