Newly appointed as the new London Fulham coach on Tuesday was Martin Jol.

The specialist, who previously managed teams like Tottenham, Hamburg, and Ajax, signed a one-year contract with the possibility of extending it for the same period.

"I am very happy. I will work at a good club, with a solid foundation and great fans," said the 55-year-old Dutchman.

"I want to be part of the Fulham family and I thank the management for their trust."

Jol, who left the Ajax team at the end of last year, will replace Mark Hughes, who resigned a few days ago.
