Fulham have begun their search for a new Manager after Roy Hodgson left Craven Cottage to join Liverpool, there are a number of names in the frame when looking at the betting and it will be important that the right appointment is made. There has been lots of speculation surrounding Sven Goran Eriksson and a return to the Premier League with Fulham and he is one who is being well backed with punters at this stage, the same can be said of Alan Curbishley who is being linked with a return to the game with Fulham. Mark Hughes is also being well backed and we like his chances here at good early value in the Next Fulham Manager Betting.

Fulham FC is a Premier League team managed by Roy Hodgson and owned by Mohammed Al-Fayed who has transformed the club during his tenure. When Al-Fayed took over in 1997 he said Fulham would be a Premier League team within five years and he was not wrong. Fayed has seen various managers come and go in the last ten years but most seem to have been given a fair chance at the helm. The experienced Roy Hodgson is the current gaffer and everything appears to be rosy in the Craven Cottage garden with the team performing well.

Fulham have been a Premier League club ever since they gained promotion in 2001 despite being involved in some tight relegation scraps that have gone right down to the wire. Roy Hodgson saved them brilliantly in 2008 by winning four of their last five games to maintain their top flight status. Fulham have done well this season and look set to secure a top flight finish with Hodgson moulding an impressive team playing attractive football. Things look settled at Craven Cottage for the time being with the current Manager in charge. Mohammed Al-Fayed is not afraid to make tough decisions however should results start to take a tumble, and he will do anything to preserve their Premier League status.

Managers History

Fulham have been through their fare share of Managers since the turn of century with Chris Coleman the main stay as he lasted four years in the hot seat before being sacked in 2007 and replaced with Lawrie Sanchez. Roy Hodgson looks safe for the time being but history tells us that the chairman will act quickly if he feels the club is heading in the wrong direction.
