Print Edition
Former Charlton Athletic and West Ham United manager Alan Curbishley and American international midfielder Clint Dempsey signed on at Fulham on Tuesday with the English Premier League club staring at relegation.
Curbishley, 56, was named first team technical director to work alongside head coach Rene Meulensteen while former star Dempsey, who plays for Seattle Sounders in the MLS, penned a two-month loan deal.
“I’m very happy that Alan has joined us as I know his expertise will be invaluable as we enter the remaining months of the season,” said Meulensteen, who took over from Dutch compatriot Martin Jol three weeks ago but is in charge of a side which is second from bottom of the EPL.
“Alan has a proven track record in the industry and understands full well what it takes to succeed. I look forward to sharing ideas and listening to advice, to ensure Fulham Football Club remains where it belongs: in the Premier League.”
Curbishley played for West Ham, Birmingham, Aston Villa, Charlton and Brighton before turning his hand to management with Charlton and West Ham whom he left in 2008.
Earlier, Dempsey, 30, agreed to return to Fulham where he spent five and a half seasons in his first spell after having signed in January 2007 from New England Revolution.
During his first stay at Craven Cottage, Dempsey scored 60 goals in 225 appearances. “It feels good to be back. This has always felt like my home in Europe,” said the American.
