Felix Magath has defended his spell in charge of Fulham, which came to an end last week with the Cottagers rooted to the bottom of the Championship table.

The former Bayern Munich coach was shown the door after a midweek defeat to Nottingham Forest and replaced by Kit Symons on a caretaker basis.



Magath feels he could have turned around the ship at Craven Cottage and has accused a number of players of not wanting to absorb his German methods, which he believes have much to teach English stars.

"I don't have a guilty conscience", he was quoted as saying by the BBC.

 


"I don't want to sound arrogant, but I am convinced that English football has something to learn from German qualities.

"Sadly they're not that prepared to listen."

Fulham was the 61-year-old's first managerial post outside German football.

He led Bayern Munich to Bundesliga titles in 2005 and 2006, while he also guided Wolfsburg to the German crown in 2009.
