In their 131 year history the London club have never lifted a major trophy. Fulham reached the FA Cup final in 1975, with Bobby Moore in the team, but lost to West Ham and were beaten by Atletico Madrid in the 2010 Europa League final.
Former Tottenham Hotspur boss Jol was heavily linked with the Craven Cottage vacancy a year ago before electing to stay with Ajax. The Dutch tactician led Spurs to the cusp of the Champions League places by finishing fifth in consecutive seasons before being sacked in October 2007.
"They say that good things come to those who wait and Fulham fans will certainly be hoping the old adage is true now that they have finally got the man they wanted," said Unibet's spokesman Daniel Booth.
Bookies are already taking bets on how m! any poin ts Jol will get off his old next season. Fulham are 12/1 (13.0) to beat Spurs in both league games.
A Jolly Good Appointment?

Jol has proven himself to be a cup specialist winning the KNVB Beker on two occasions during his time in Holland.
He's 40/1 (41.0) to win the FA Cup next season, 80/1 (81.0) to rocket Fulham into the Champions League and 40/1 (41.0) to go one better than Roy Hodgson and lift the Europa League.
Fulham have been a steady presence in the Premier League for a decade but you can back Jol to sink the cottage at 7/1 (8.0) on relegation to the Championship.
Mr Booth added, "Unibet have responded to the appointment by creating a market on how well Fulham will perform in 2011/12 and there are some tasty prices to be had.
"Are they set for a top 10 finish? They are priced up at 2.70 to finish in the top 10 and 1.40 not to so it could be a long hard slog for the Cottagers."
