New Fulham boss Mark Hughes feels he can take the club back into the top ten this season.
New Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson led Fulham to their highest ever top-flight finish of seventh place in the Barclays Premier League two years ago and trumped that by masterminding their run to the Europa League final last term.
It appears an impossible act to follow but former Blackburn and Manchester City boss Hughes is confident of maintaining that level of success - and even improving upon it.
"I have the ability to get the best out of any group that I work with," said the 46-year-old, who was appointed last week on a two-year contract.
"We want to drive the club forward. We want to make sure that Fulham is a top-10 club on a regular basis, which hasn't been the case in recent times.
"We don't want the last two years to be standout years in the history of Fulham."
Hughes was full of praise for his predecessor, saying: "He maximised the results out of the group that he had.
"That's what I've always tried to do."
