FORMER Crystal Palace centre half Kit Symons has been appointed caretaker boss of Championship side Fulham.
Symons, 43, assumed temporary charge of the struggling Cottagers this afternoon (Thursday) after German boss Felix Magath was sacked.
Fulham, who were relegated from the Premier League last season, are yet to win a game this campaign and lie bottom of the Championship, having been thrashed 5-2 by high-flying Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Wednesday night.
Symons, currently boss of the club's under 21 team, is likely to be in charge for Saturday's home game against Blackburn Rovers at Craven Cottage.
