Former Huddersfield Town boss David Wagner has been tipped to take over at Premier League strugglers Fulham.
Fulham fear they could miss out on David Wagner with the former Huddersfield Town boss keen to work in the Premier League when he returns to the dugout, according to iNews.
With just seven games left, the Cottagers appear to be all-but relegated already with a 13-point gap between themselves and safety.
Their return to the top flight has been an unmitigated disaster with both Slavisa Jokanovic and Claudio Ranieri paying the price for some truly awful results with their jobs over the course of the campaign.
With Championship football looking like an inevitability for 2019/20, iNews believe that Fulham are keen to appoint a manager with a proven track record in the second tier.
Wagner did guide an unfancied Huddersfield side to promotion two years ago after all, pulling off a minor miracle one a shoestring budget.
Scott Parker has impressed since taking over as Fulham’s interim coach but iNews claim that they would prefer to hand Wagner the reigns on a full-time basis. The German walked out of Huddersfield in January and wants to wait until the summer before he takes up another job.
But the report points out that the former Dortmund youth coach would prefer to work in the Premier League and Fulham fear that they would not be able to lure him to Craven Cottage once relegation is confirmed.
