Felix Magath: 'I will stay at Fulham'

Felix Magath has insisted that he will remain as Fulham manager even if he fails to secure their place in next season's Premier League campaign.

The Cottagers suffered a 3-1 home defeat to Everton on Sunday to remain at the foot of the table with 24 points from 32 matches.

"Yes, for sure," BBC Sport quotes 60-year-old Magath as saying when asked after the match if he planned to stay at Craven Cottage beyond the summer.

"It is very difficult to take over a team on the bottom and start winning. I knew I was coming into a difficult situation."

Magath replaced Rene Meulensteen as the Fulham boss in February on an 18-month contract.
