Fulham's new boss Jean Tigana is August's Nationwide League Manager of the Month following a superb start to the Frenchman's managerial career in England.

Jean Tigana Manager of the month for August

The former midfield international inspired the Cottagers to a perfect League start, taking maximum points from their four August matches in Division One.

After beating Crewe 2-0 at home and Birmingham 3-1 away, they rounded off the month with an August Bank Holiday weekend double.

Stockport were handed a 4-1 drubbing at Craven Cottage on Saturday then, on Monday, a late goal by Luis Boa Morte gave them a 1-0 win at Norwich.

That made the table-topping Cottagers the only first division club with a 100 per cent record as they stepped into their second month under Tigana's command.

Jean will receive his presentation at a special lunch in London later today.
