Felix Magath hits out at Rene Meulensteen

New Fulham manager Felix Magath criticises former coach Rene Meulensteen for "destabilising" the Premier League strugglers.

New Fulham manager Felix Magath has hit out at former coach Rene Meulensteen for "destabilising" the Premier League strugglers.

Magath, 60, arrived at Craven Cottage on Monday following a surprise shake-up that saw Meulensteen sacked after less than 80 days in charge of the club.

The German has now criticised Meulensteen for bringing confusion to the league's bottom-placed team.

"My predecessor let the team play very attacking football for four games," he told The Sun. "Then he suddenly rearranged the defence, and that destabilised the whole team.

"My most important task is to bring in a clear structure."

Fulham return to Premier League action on Saturday with a trip to The Hawthorns to face West Bromwich Albion.
