Former Bayer Leverkusen coach Klaus Toppmoeller has confirmed that he is negotiating with English Premier League club Fulham for the vacant managers position at Craven Cottage.
"We are talking (with Fulham)," Toppmoeller told a German Sunday newspaper. "It could all go very fast."
The 51-year-old German was sacked by Bayer Leverkusen in February. The club collapsed after narrowly missing out on a treble last season under Toppmoeller's guidance and are currently fighting against relegation from the Bundesliga.
Former Fulham defender Chris Coleman has been in temporary charge at the London club since French coach Jean Tigana left last month. Fulham were lying 15th of the 20 clubs in the premier league before Sunday's final match against Charlton Athletic.
Toppmoeller was named German Coach of the Year last season after Leverkusen had finished runners-up in the German league and reached the Champions League and German Cup finals.
