Fulham Offers New Contract to Manager Marco Silva Amidst Tough Start

Marco Silva joined Fulham in 2021.

Fulham FC has put forth a new contract proposal to manager Marco Silva, whose current agreement is set to expire at the conclusion of the season.

The Fulham board aims to secure the Portuguese manager’s commitment, especially in light of his concerns regarding the club’s summer transfer activities. Silva had previously expressed dissatisfaction, labeling the board as “passive” just before the commencement of the Premier League season. Ultimately, the club spent approximately £40 million on five new players as the transfer window concluded.

The Cottagers have faced a challenging start to the current campaign, currently positioned one point above the relegation zone in 15th place.

Having signed a three-year deal in 2023, the 48-year-old manager, known for his previous tenures at Everton and Watford, successfully led Fulham to promotion in 2022 and has maintained the club’s status in the top flight since then.

Silva has also been linked to managerial openings at prominent clubs such as Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur in the past.
