Group Information
| Group Name | Fulham FC |
| Description | Fulham have maintained their Premier League status ever since elevation to the top flight under Frenchman Jean Tigana in 2001. This represented a third promotion in just five seasons for the Cottagers and they have not looked back, establishing themselves in the Premier League.
Tigana left the club in April 2003 and former Fulham star Chris Coleman took over to become the Premier League's youngest manager. He led them to ninth in his first season and kept the Whites clear of relegation during his tenure.
Coleman was sacked as the 2006/07 season neared its end, with Lawrie Sanchez taking over the lowly outfit on a temporary basis. The former Northern Ireland manager steered the Cottagers to safety and was subsequently rewarded with the full-time job.
But after the team struggled in the opening months of the 2007/08 season, Sanchez was also fired. Ray Lewington briefly took over as caretaker manager before Roy Hodgson was appointed and guided the club to safety with a dramatic last day win over Portsmouth at Fratton Park. In 2008/09, Hodgson steered Fulham to seventh and a place in the Europa League.
The Cottagers enjoyed one of their finest seasons in 2009/10 after knocking out some of the leading clubs in Europe to reach the Europa League Final. They lost out to Atletico Madrid in extra-time, but did the nation proud as the only Barclays Premier League side to get to a European final that year. Domestically, Hodgson's men finished in a credible 12th. |
