Fulham have announced the appointment of Slavisa Jokanović as the club's new head coach.
The 47-year-old Serbian guided Watford to promotion last season before taking over at Israeli side Maccabi Tel Aviv.
However, Fulham have lured him back and he will be the fourth man to take the helm at Craven Cottage this season after Kit Symons, youth boss Peter Grant and senior coach Stuart Gray.
Shahid Khan said in a club statement: “I am extremely proud to announce that Slavisa Jokanović will be joining Fulham as our First Team Head Coach.
“We considered many quality candidates for what we considered to be one of the best positions in football, and I personally interviewed most of them.
“While the search was time-consuming and painstaking at times, I knew that when the process was complete that Fulham would have the best man possible for this opportunity and challenge.
“Slavisa’s credentials and passion for the job rose to the top through every stage of this process, and we cannot wait to welcome him to Motspur Park and Craven Cottage to get things going in the right direction for the second half of the season.”
Jokanovic will be in the dugout for the Whites game with Rotherham on Tuesday.
