5 EFL Championship Managers to watch out for

5. Slaviša Jokanovi? (Fulham)

Fulham v Reading - Sky Bet Championship Play-Off: First Leg- Jokanovic applauds

Slavisa Jokanovic is the current Fulham boss who joined the club in December 2015. A former journeyman defensive midfielder, he spent a majority of his career switching between clubs with his longest spell at Tenerife in Spain for whom he played 123 times in the league.

Jokanovic began his managerial career at Partizan Belgrade for whom he had also played, and won the league in his first full season.

Since he has had stints at Thailand's Muangathong United FC, where he won the league unbeaten. He came to England first in October 2014, joining Watford and leading them to automatic promotion in second place, losing the title by one point, only to leave after failing to agree on terms with the owners of Watford.

Fulham were embroiled in a relegation battle when he took over. They finished 11 points clear of relegation in 2015-16 under him, before losing in the playoff semi-final to Reading in 2016-17 after scoring the joint highest goals in the division - a great transformation.

They have begun the campaign steadily so far and are in tenth. Jokanovic seems an exciting manager to watch out for considering he is only 49, not that old in management terms.
