Broken Top Radiator Nozzle

As many have seen and done in the past, looks like my top radiator nozzle has started to come apart due to repairing/replacing the overflow tank. See attached photo.

I've re-seated the hose and will keep a close eye on it for now. My question is what are your thoughts on repairs replacements? I've seen some DIY's on here, but not sure if they're worth trying. What would you recommend for replacement? I'm pretty much stock, so no extreme needs here, but defiantly interested in something that will help keep my car healthy.

Thanks guys!
