Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic admits his Mum would like him to take a more secure job.

It has not been an easy start for Fulham since their return to the Premier League but Jokanovic is not thinking about a career change just yet.

“My mother was always so worried about my job," said the Fulham boss to the Mirror.

“OK, if it all ends, she said, 'don't be worried.' Many years ago when I played, and we couldn't win the game, she said: 'don't be worried, you speak many languages you can work in reception at some hotel.'

“I mean, it is part of the job, if you are a manager, some big managers say there exists two kinds of manager, the sacked, and the ones who are about to be sacked. I don't interpret anything that happens around me as a tragic situation.

“She still watches all the games. The Premier League is around the world, and she says: 'OK, it is complicated.' But I say: 'I will find a solution. Don't be so worried.'

“I am more experienced in this than people really close to me! I need to manage them, need to manage my players and manage myself. I have never panicked."
