Fulham boss Magath holds talks with owner Khan over future

Fulham boss Felix Magath is confident of remaining at Craven Cottage following a discussion with owner Shahid Khan. The Barclays Premier League's bottom club are five points adrift of safety with only six games left to secure a 14th consecutive season in the top flight.

"I had a phone call with the owner (on Wednesday) and everything is fine. He knows the situation, he knows how things work," he said.

"I have no doubt about my contract. I don't worry about it.

"It's normal if things in clubs don't go well. There is politics, people who call journalists and tell them 'I know that is going on', but I don't care.

"Sure I'll be here next season. I'm here to build a team. That was clear from the beginning.

"I like to develop teams, I like to develop players so therefore I'm here. I will be here next season and I will do that here."

Magath believes four wins will keep Fulham in the Premier League. "Four wins are enough to stay up and we are able to do that," he said.

"We need to win now. Winning a game is the most important thing. We have to win and that will help us a lot.

"The players haven't given up. You are not confident if you're losing games, but at the training sessions they are concentrating and eager to do their job."
