LONDON (Reuters) - Fulham made a late, desperate throw of the dice in a bid to avoid relegation when they sacked Rene Meulensteen on Friday and brought in former Bayern Munich coach Felix Magath as his successor.

The London club, bottom of the Premier League and four points from safety with 12 matches left, only appointed Meulensteen on December 1 when fellow Dutchman Martin Jol was fired.
