Some Unfinished Business for Martin Jol as Dutchman Takes Over at Fulham

Filed under: Aston Villa, Fulham, Tottenham, Premier League, Football

Martin Jol has completed his return to the Premier League after being named as the new manager of Fulham - and he will arrive with some unfinished business after his time at Tottenham.

Jol has been swiftly appointed as the successor to Mark Hughes and signed a two-year contract at Craven Cottage, ending a four-year exile from the English game.

The 55-year-old has been out of work since leaving Ajax late last year but Fulham chairman Mohamed Al-Fayed has moved quickly to bring him back to London.

Fulham have moved quickly to head off potential interest from Premier League rivals Aston Villa for the Tottenham manager, and his appointment represents a significant coup for the Cottagers.

He said: "I am very happy to join Fulham Football Club, a wonderful traditional club. It is a club with good, solid foundations and a great fan base.
