Fulham boss Jean Tigana was dramatically sacked tonight and coach Chris Coleman appointed manager for the remaining five games of the season.
Frenchman Tigana, told by chairman Mohammed Al Fayed last month that his three-year contract would not be renewed beyond June 30th, was axed after three successive defeats.
Former Welsh international Coleman, forced to retire from playing last year due to a serious leg injury has surprisingly taken over just a fortnight after ruling himself out of the running for the imminent vacancy.
