Fulham have appointed former Watford manager Slavisa Jokanovic as their new head coach.
The Cottagers have been without a manager for 49 days after previous boss Kit Symons was sacked at the start of November.
Announcing the appointment, Fulham chairman Shahid Khan said: "I am extremely proud to announce that Slavisa Jokanovic will be joining Fulham as our first-team head coach. We considered many quality candidates for what we considered to be one of the best positions in football, and I personally interviewed most of them.
"While the search was time-consuming and painstaking at times, I knew that when the process was complete that Fulham would have the best man possible for this opportunity and challenge.
"Slavisa's credentials and passion for the job rose to the top through every stage of this process, and we cannot wait to welcome him to Motspur Park and Craven Cottage to get things going in the right direction for the second half of the season."
The Serbian earned promotion to the Premier League with Watford as they finished second in the Championship last term, although he left the club in June to take the top job at Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Jokanovic joins a Fulham side that are 18th in the Championship, three points above the dropzone and without a league win in nine games.
