Magath was the front runner to replace Bert van Marwijk at Hamburg; the former Holland coach was eventually sacked yesterday after the Bundesliga side lost 4-2 to Eintracht Braunschweig.

But Magath agreed to join Fulham on Friday evening, replacing ex-Manchester United first team coach Rene Meulensteen.
"He offered himself as a saviour for HSV, but at the same time was negotiating with an English club", Matthaus said via the German media.
