Talks Opened Up With Jol

Last Updated : 19-Jul-2010 by
The Daily Mail report that the 54-year-old former Spurs coach has had preliminary talks with Fulham but will meet again later this week to finalise a deal.

Fulham are not expected to make an announcement ahead of their pre-season tour to Sweden today but Jol will join the squad before the weekend.

Jol, who managed Tottenham between 2004 and 2007, was preferred to Ivory Coast coach Sven-Goran Eriksson while Lee Clark, Ottmar Hitzfeld and Slaven Bilic were also considered.
