Fulham owner Shahid Khan has sacked manager Felix Magath following the club's poor start to the season and installed Kit Symons as caretaker boss.
Magath was drafted in at Craven Cottage late last season, but was unable to keep the Cottagers in the Premier League.
He was backed to help the club quickly bounce back and win promotion from the Championship, but has presided over an abysmal start to the season.
Fulham, who lost 5-3 to Nottingham Forest earlier this week, sit rock bottom of the table with one point from seven games.
And the end of the road has been reached for former Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg manager Magath.
