Dutchman lasts just 74 days in the job after succeeding Martin Jol and leaves the new man with the task of saving the rock-bottom Cottagers from relegation

Michael ReganCottage Bye! Meulensteen is out at Fulham after just 74 days in charge
Fulham boss Rene Meulensteen has been sacked after just two months in charge of the Premier League's bottom club and replaced with Felix Magath.

Meulensteen was appointed in early December after the Cottagers fired manager Martin Jol but delivered only three wins as the club slid into the top-flight's cellar.

They were also knocked out of the FA Cup by third-tier strugglers Sheffield United, at home.

Magath, 60, is a former West Germany international who has been in management since the mid-1990s, most recently with Wolfsburg, who he left by mutual consent in October 2012.

While Meulensteen had the job title of head coach, Magath will be first-team manager.

Third time lucky? Magath follows Jol and Meulensteen into the Fulham hot-seat
A key lieutenant of Sir Alex Ferguson's at Manchester United, Dutchman Meulensteen has been in similar circumstances before.

He was promoted to coach of Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala after Guus Hiddink left last year, but was then sacked after just SIXTEEN days.

US-based tycoon Shahid Khan, who bought Fulham from Mohamed Al Fayed last summer, also has former Charlton and West Ham boss Alan Curbishley on board as technical director and Ray Wilkins - who managed Fulham himself in the 1990s - as assistant head coach.

Not even suprised, its the norm these days. Disgraceful if you ask me.

3 managers in 26 games

Sick and tired of hearing of managers being sacked,it's about time those who employ managers who fail resign for their poor decision making.

Agree with the sentiment but when you own a club you can hire or fire whoever the feck you like.

Sorry but i disagree.He's come in and they've continued on a terrible run.No win in 6 now and getting cast adrift.Does anyone honestly think he'll get them out of this mess?

Hope not! Need them to continue doing badly. Also need Norwich and Sunderland to go on 10 match losing runs....

That's just one Manager they had three really with Wilkins and Curbishly there, so one of them can just step into the hot seat, probably going down anyway, unless Curbs can do a Allerdyce or Pulis ????

Yep.I think they've had it now barring a miracle.They were easily the worst side we've played this season.I've got a sneaky feeling that Norwich will go down as well.have you seen their run-in?

Agree on those two, and one of the next five or six probably, I think Sunderland may drop back, and Hull and Stoke definitely aren't safe yet.....

Well I hope Fulham occupy 20th for the remainder and I can not see Norwich going anywhere but down. I just hope we are not in the final spot... It's anyone's game.

You're madder than us
You're madder than us
Once proud Fulham
You're madder than us

I think stokes home form will keep them up and hull must have been the luckiest team this season! So many red cards for their opposition and 50/50 penalties seem to go their way....

Wow just read the update, I thought one the other Managers there Curbs or Wilkins would have taken over ???

To late I think we can see how it's affected us a change of direction, it takes the players few months to adapt, unless you just keep it dead simple like Pulis did ....

Soon, Fulham will be the best PL team in fitness, strength, stamina etc... Magath's well known for that, his nick is Quälix (Torturer), he his a very demanding coach and extremely tough...

Maybe thats why Berbatov left, he must've knew

Hopefully Fulham, Sunderland and Norwich for the drop looking at the games left but we need to get ourselves in gear. It's possible for us survive and this season because it's so close something like 36 points may be enough.

Farfan wasn't a fan.

Farfan hated him...

if you understand German, this is for you:

TV loudmouth and latenight talkmaster Oliver Pocher volunteered to train with Wolfsburg under Felix Magath... and Magath kicks his butt there... but you need to understand German, the snipey remarks are brilliant...

He's been likened to Sadam Hussien ffs! Guess the workload is good for fans who wanna see work ethic but look how badly conditioned Mutch and Noone are, being run to the ground under the previous tactics, thus picking up injuries. Same with Campbell

Sad as hell. For me, the magic has gone from football. Yes, the rebrand has killed a lot of passion I had for City, but on the whole, footy is shagged big time. The lunatics have taken over the asylum.

just a bit mate .mental

It will give them 12 games to try and rescue their season

This is a huge risk... Fulham have been unlucky in the last two games... They need their new Greek striker to do really well as the reality is that they only stayed up last year due to Berbatov's goals... I've been down the cottage twice this season and the crowd can be really tough at times - a lot of singing for Al Fayed the last time I was there for the Norwich cup game
