Premier League strugglers Fulham announced on Sunday that Martin Jol had been sacked as their manager.

The London club have won just three out of 13 league games under the Dutchman this season, with only Sunderland and Crystal Palace below them in the table.

Fulham said former Manchester United assistant manager Rene Meulensteen, who only recently arrived at Craven Cottage as a coach to work under Jol, would assume responsibility for the first team with "immediate effect".
