#3 Chris Coleman
Chris Coleman joined Fulham in 2002 as a part of the coaching staff, after his playing career was curtailed by an injury sustained during a car-crash. Following Tigana's controversial departure from the club, Coleman was appointed to the role of a caretaker manager in April 2003. The Welshman steered Fulham to safety in the midst of a heated relegation battle and was appointed as full-time manager at the end of the season.
In his first full season as manager of Fulham, Chris Coleman led the Cottagers to a surprise ninth-place finish, in spite of many pundits predicting that they would struggle and that Coleman would be sacked. Coleman was eventually axed in 2007, after a string of poor performances and the departure of several important players. Coleman currently manages the Welsh national team, but his future is currently in doubt after Wales failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup.
