Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic fighting for his job

Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic is fighting for his job at Craven Cottage.

The Mirror says Jokanovic led the Cottagers back into the Premier League last season via the Play-Offs after four years away.

But they now sit fourth-bottom, having lost five of their eight league games and won just one while conceding 21 goals — four more than the division's next leakiest defences.

In their last game before the international break, Fulham were demolished 5-1 in front of their own fans by Arsenal.

There are concerns at the club that despite investing over £100million during the summer, they are playing a brand of football that's too open and that Jokanovic has not adapted his tactics to cope with the step up in class.

The club's top brass are understood to want him to go back to basics, with an emphasis on defending.
