'I haven't decided yet' - Silva on Fulham future

"“I have not decided,” former Everton, Watford and Hull City boss Silva told Match of the Day when asked about his future following Fulham's 1-1 draw at Wolves on Sunday. “I understand the fans want to know the future of the club. ”Myself and the club cannot communicate something when the decision is not made.”"

"“We are going to have meetings, I am going to analyse,” added Silva about his own future. “I believe there are many things to analyse and you need to be calm in this moment to address many, many things.”"

"Silva's contract expires at the end of June and, as things stand, the club is keen to keep him, with a threeyear offer understood to be on the table. The Portuguese boss, who was appointed in 2021, was linked with the Chelsea job before former Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso was appointed on Sunday."

"Silva took charge of Fulham when they were in the Championship five years ago and steered the club to promotion in his first season. Since then he has established them in the Premier League, guiding Fulham to 10th, 13th and 11th placed finishes. They currently sit 13th with one match - at home to Newcastle - left but Fulham have failed to win in their past three games, seriously denting their chances of qualifying for Europe next season."

Marco Silva said he has not decided whether he will remain in charge next season. His contract expires at the end of June, and Fulham are understood to be keen to keep him, with a three-year offer on the table. Silva said he and the club cannot communicate a decision before it is made and that he will hold meetings and analyze multiple factors calmly. Fulham’s summer is described as important for the club’s future, with Harry Wilson also out of contract. Fulham sit 13th with one match remaining, having failed to win in their past three games, affecting their chances of qualifying for Europe. Silva has ambitions for the highest level and has previously rejected Saudi approaches, while not ruling out a return to Portuguese football.
