Fulham have sacked manager Chris Coleman and replaced him with Northern Ireland boss Lawrie Sanchez on a caretaker basis.
Coleman has come under severe pressure as his side have suffered a seven-game winless streak in the Premiership to leave them hovering just four points above the relegation zone with five games left to play.
Assistant manager Steve Kean has also been sacked as part of the restructure, while Sanchez is brought in after consultation between the Cottagers and Irish Football Association president Jim Boyce.
