Jol handed Fulham coaching nightmare

Fulham boss Martin Jol is facing a staff dilemma.

The new manager has THREE coaches on the payroll appointed by former boss Mark Hughes, who walked out at the end of the season, says the Sunday Mirror.

Mark Bowen, Eddie ­Niedwiecki and Kevin ­Hitchcock were key members of Hughes's team when he worked at Blackburn, ­Manchester City and then ­Fulham.

But while Hughes left when he failed to agree terms on a new deal, the three coaches were left with another year on their contracts. They are still at Fulham but don't know what their roles will be under Jol.

The club have refused to pay them off with a year's salary and they remain on the staff at Craven Cottage and Jol will want to appoint his own backroom staff.

They are due to report to the club's training ground at ­Motspur Park tomorrow ­morning and Jol will then hand them duties away from the first team squad.
