New Fulham manager Martin Jol cannot wait for the chance to have another crack at the Premier League and will waste no time in adding to his squad at Craven Cottage.
The 55-year-old former Tottenham boss has agreed an initial two-year contract with the option of a further 12 months and replaces Mark Hughes, who resigned last Thursday after just one season at the helm.
Jol saw his hopes of taking charge of Fulham following Roy Hodgson's departure a year ago blocked by Ajax, but having left the Dutch club in December, he is relishing a second opportunity in the English top flight.
"I'm very happy to be back and especially at a club like Fulham," Jol told the club's official website, www.fulhamfc.com. "I remember coming here with Tottenham and I even think I played here when I was a player. I loved going to Fulham."
