Fulham boss Martin Jol 'to be awarded with new contract'

Fulham are reportedly prepared to offer manager Martin Jol a new contract following an impressive start to the season.

The Cottagers currently sit seventh in the league table after nine games, despite losing Clint Dempsey, Mousa Dembele, Pavel Pogrebnyak, Dickson Etuhu and Andy Johnson in the summer transfer window.

It is understood that the club will hold talks with the Dutchman over a new deal before Jol's current contract expires at the end of the season, according to Goal.com.

Meanwhile, Fulham are preparing to take on Everton at Craven Cottage this weekend.
