Fulham have announced the appointment of Rene Meulensteen as head coach alongside manager Martin Jol.

The Dutchman, who spent over a decade working at Manchester United, joins the struggling Premier League club with immediate effect.

Meulensteen worked for United as youth team and reserve coach before being promoted to assistant to Sir Alex Ferguson.

The 49-year-old left the Premier League champions in June when David Moyes succeeded Ferguson and brought in his own coaching team.

Meulensteen joined Anzhi Makhachkala in July as assistant to Guus Hiddink and was promoted to head coach when his fellow Dutchman quit after two games.
