Brede Hangeland doesn't believe Fulham have suffered since Roy Hodgson's departure for Liverpool.
Highly-rated coach Hodgson may have moved on to Liverpool this summer but, with Mark Hughes drafted in as his successor, the outlook still appears to be bright on the banks of the Thames.
"Apart from changing clubs, the biggest change you can experience is a new manager," Hangeland told the Sunday Times.
"It's a new start for everyone, you have to be on your toes and take on board new ideas and I'm looking forward to the new season.
"Training is different. Under Roy Hodgson we did a lot on team shape and organisation whereas now we do more 4 v 4s, small-sided games - proper football sessions, some might say.
"It was important to get a big manager because we did so well under Hodgson and it's good the club showed it intends achieving more."
