Former Fulham manager
Speaking to Sky Sports News, Jokanovic said he was surprised at the timing: "I was still confident that we would have been able to turn things around after our slow start to the season, just as we had done in previous years, but I respectfully accept the club's decision.
"I feel that we gave the club's fans a footballing identity and a team to be proud of."
His sacking comes after a dismal run of form that has seen Fulham concede a staggering 31 league goals. Their latest defeat to relegation rivals Huddersfied in a match already dubbed as a relegation ‘six pointer’ signalled the beginning of the end of Jokanovic, with defeat at Liverpool last Sunday the final nail in the coffin.
Whilst he was disappointed at his departure, he was full of praise for the club and chairman Shahid Khan, who stuck by the former Watford manager despite an indifferent start to last season.
