Ex Premier League boss wants Fulham job

Ex Newcastle United boss John Carver is interested in replacing Kit Symons as Fulham boss, according to the Daily Mail.

Symons was sacked as Fulham manager after they lost 5-2 to Birmingham City at Craven Cottage on Saturday, a defeat which left them occupying 12th place in the Championship.

The club are said to be looking to appoint a head coach, rather than going with the more traditional manager role. He would be expected to work chief football officer Mike Rigg.

Carver has been out of football since being sacked at the end of last season, after enduring a difficult spell in charge of Newcastle United. He did manage to keep the North-East giants in the top flight, although their performances under him received widespread criticism from fans and pundits alike.

However, it is now believed, according to the Daily Mail, that Carver would like to get back into football with Fulham, a side who have struggled since being relegated from the Premier League in 2014.

Despite this, the west London club have a strong squad for the level they’re currently at, meaning that Carver will have resources to work with if he is to land the job.

Carver will also have a fight on his hands to get the job, with Sky Bet currently making Burton Albion boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink the odds-on favourite.
