Encouraged byrecent wins over both Spurs and Sunderland, Tigana has warned his side: "Split are a very technical and very aggressive side.
"But, Europe is like a gift. When you have a good season, it's a bonus for the club.
"The game is important, as it's Fulham's first in UEFA Cup.
"We got through many stages to get here - but there's no target now as it's a discovery for me and the players.
"It's very important for the players to get experience at a higher level.
"Now I want to play in the European Cup this year or next. That's my target."
