===Managerial history=== Fulham have had 37 managers in 114 years. Prior to the appointment of the first manager at the club (Bradshaw in 1904), the duties normally assigned to a modern-day manager would have been shared between club secretary, captain, and other officials.{{citation needed|date=May 2023}} {| class="wikitable sortable" style="text-align: center;" |- !Name!!From!!To |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Harry Bradshaw (football manager)|Harry Bradshaw]] |1904 |1909 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Phil Kelso]] |1909 |1924 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Andy Ducat]] |1924 |1926 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Joe Bradshaw (footballer)|Joe Bradshaw]] |1926 |1929 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Ned Liddle|Ned Liddell]] |1929 |1931 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Jimmy McIntyre]] |1931 |1934 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Jimmy Hogan]] |1934 |1935 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Jack Peart]] |1935 |1948 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Frank Osborne (footballer)|Frank Osborne]]* |1948 |1949 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Bill Dodgin Sr.]] |1949 |1953 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Frank Osborne (footballer)|Frank Osborne]]* |1953 |1956 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Doug Livingstone]] |1956 |1958 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Bedford Jezzard]] |1958 |1964 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Vic Buckingham]] |1965 |1968 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Bobby Robson]] |1968 |1968 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Bill Dodgin Jr.]] |1969 |1972 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Alec Stock]] |1972 |1976 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Bobby Campbell (English footballer)|Bobby Campbell]] |1976 |1980 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Malcolm Macdonald]] |1980 |1984 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Ray Harford]] |1984 |1986 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Ray Lewington]] |1986 |1990 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Alan Dicks]] |1990 |1991 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Don Mackay]] |1991 |1994 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Ian Branfoot]]** |1994 |1996 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Micky Adams]] |1996 |1997 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Ray Wilkins]] |1997 |1998 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Kevin Keegan]]<sup>†</sup> |1998 |1999 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Paul Bracewell]] |1999 |2000 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Jean Tigana]] |2000 |2003 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Chris Coleman (footballer)|Chris Coleman]] |2003 |2007 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Lawrie Sanchez]] |2007 |2007 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Roy Hodgson]] |2007 |2010 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Mark Hughes]] |2010 |2011 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Martin Jol]] |2011 |2013 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[René Meulensteen]]<sup>§±</sup> |2013 |2014 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Felix Magath]] |2014 |2014 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Kit Symons]] |2014 |2015 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Slaviša Jokanović]]<sup>±</sup> |2015 |2018 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Claudio Ranieri]] |2018 |2019 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Scott Parker]]<sup>±</sup> |2019 |2021 |- |style="text-align: left;"|[[Marco Silva]]<sup>±</sup> |2021 |''Present'' |} * * [[Frank Osborne (footballer)|Frank Osborne]] was employed continuously by the club from 1948 to 1963, but only spent the above periods as designated manager. * ** Ian Branfoot continued to be employed by the club after his dismissal as manager. * <sup>†</sup> Kevin Keegan was employed by the club as chief operating officer (during which time he essentially acted as an [[Coach (sport)|assistant manager]]) during the time of his predecessor (Ray Wilkins) being the actual manager. * <sup>§</sup> René Meulensteen was appointed as head coach under previous manager [[Martin Jol]] (during which time he essentially acted as an assistant manager), but never took on the title of "manager" after Jol's departure, despite assuming the duties usually assigned to one. He remained as head coach for four days after Magath's appointment before being released. * <sup>±</sup> Some managers have only had the official description of "head coach" rather than "manager": René Meulensteen, Slaviša Jokanović, Scott Parker, and Marco Silva,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fulhamfc.com/news/2021/july/Fulham-Appoint-Marco-Silva/|work=Fulham FC|access-date=1 July 2021|title=Fulham Appoint Marco Silva|date=July 2021 |archive-date=1 July 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210701173431/https://www.fulhamfc.com/news/2021/july/Fulham-Appoint-Marco-Silva/|url-status=live}}</ref> as well as interim head coach Peter Grant. '''Managerial records:''' *Only one man has managed the club through two different spells, Frank Osborne, in 1948–49 and then 1953–56. *The longest spell as Fulham manager was by Phil Kelso, 15 years (1909–1924) *Several managers have failed to last more than a year at the club: Bobby Robson, Ray Wilkins, Paul Bracewell, Lawrie Sanchez, Mark Hughes, René Meulensteen, Felix Magath, and Claudio Ranieri. Further to this, Frank Osborne only had a year after his initial arrival at the club during which he was principally in charge of the team (before Dodgin, senior) arrived, although he later took sole charge of the club for an extended period. '''Temporary managers''' at the club have included: *[[Johnny Haynes]]: Took over after [[Bobby Robson]] was dismissed in 1968 for only a handful of matches. ''The Maestro'' was offered the role permanently but had no inclination to become a manager. *[[Karl-Heinz Riedle]]: when Paul Bracewell was dismissed halfway through the [[1999–2000 in English football|1999–2000]] season, there was a temporary period of Fulham being managed by their [[Forward (association football)#Striker|striker]] Karl-Heinz Riedle, assisted his old boss at [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]], [[Roy Evans]]. Riedle injured a lung in the season's penultimate game. *[[Chris Coleman (footballer)|Chris Coleman]]: after Tigana resigned four months before planned in 2003, Chris Coleman was appointed as caretaker manager, much to the delight of the fans. Having initially denied he wanted the post, Coleman accepted the role of full-time manager that summer. *[[Lawrie Sanchez]]: when Coleman was dismissed, Sanchez came in to take control of the club for the remaining five games of the season.
