Earlier today we learnt that former Manchester United coach Rene Meulensteen has joined Fulham FC’s coaching staff, working alongside Martin Jol. The 49-year old Dutchman was regarded as Manchester United’s best coach, and many fans were disappointed when David Moyes decided to let him go in the summer.
Since then he has gone on to manage Russian side Anzhi, but he never got to take charge of a game after he was sacked after just sixteen days at the helm. Meulensteen is now back in football, and you’d think that he’d be first in line for the Fulham managerial job if Martin Jol were to be sacked.
Fellow Dutchman Robin van Persie always seemed to get on well with Meulensteen, and our star striker used Facebook to give his former coach his backing.
