Rene Meulensteen, Alan Curbishley and Ray Wilkins leave Fulham

Fulham announce that Rene Meulensteen, Alan Curbishley and Ray Wilkins have left the club, with Tomas Oral and Werner Leuthard appointed to Felix Magath's backroom staff.

Fulham have confirmed that Rene Meulensteen, Alan Curbishley and Ray Wilkins have left the club, as new first-team manager Felix Magath restructures his backroom staff.

The Cottagers announced the arrival of Magath last Friday, but Meulensteen remained as head coach, despite his insistence that he had been released.

However, his departure has now been confirmed, with Curbishley, who was first-team technical director, and assistant manager Wilkins, following him out of the exit door.

Coaches Mick Priest and Jonathan Hill have also left the club, but Magath has acted quickly to bring in Tomas Oral as first-team coach and Werner Leuthard as conditioning coach.

In a statement on the club's official website, chairman Shahid Khan said: "I'm very grateful to Rene, Alan and Ray, as well as Mick and Jonathan, for their commitment to Fulham.

"Their efforts were admirable and appreciated, and I wish them the best. Felix has come to Fulham with purpose and exceptional confidence, and I know he's extremely pleased to have Tomas Oral and Werner Leuthard join him for the mission ahead.

"From today forward, the focus is singularly on winning football matches and remaining in the Barclays Premier League. The work has begun."

Magath's first game in charge is away at West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.
