Fulham’s Serbian manager Slavisa Jokanovic is reportedly set to extend his stay at Craven Cottage, according to Squawka.
The 48-year-old’s current deal with the London club is set to expire at the end of the current season, but he is expected to sign a two-year extension to his contract in the coming days.
This comes after a number of foreign sides, including Bundesliga strugglers Werder Bremen, were said to be looking to poach Jokanovic after being impressed by his managerial performances at Fulham.
He made a name for himself in English football during his spell at Watford, guiding the Hornets to Premier League promotion for the first time since 2006.
After leaving the club shortly afterwards, due to not being able to agree a contract, he had a brief spell with Israeli side Maccabi Tel Aviv, but returned to Britain soon after with his current club Fulham.
After taking over from Kit Symonds in 2015, he managed to steer the club clear of the drop zone in the second half of the season, and avoid an embarrassing relegation to the third tier for the first time since the turn of the century.
This season, he has built on last year’s success with an impressive surge towards the top of the table.
The Cottagers currently sit in eighth position in the Championship table, and are very much still in the hunt for promotion; they are just nine points adrift of the playoffs.
Jokanovic has received praise from supporters for his implementation of an attractive style of football, characterised by free-flowing attacking movement and passing with purpose, which has been effective this season.
