Confirmed: Marco Silva is the new coach of Fulham (England). The 43-year-old Portuguese coach is back at work leading a project aimed at bringing the historic London club back to the Premier League after falling out of the league this season, a drop that led to the sacking of former coach Scott Parker.
Marco Silva will coach Fulham for the next three years. That agreement, which was sealed Thursday, was brokered by ProEleven, a company led by agent Carlos Gonçalves.
Lured by a long-term project and a return to England, Marco Silva prioritized Fulham, rejecting proposals from Fenerbahce (who in recent days confirmed his interest in taking the coach to Turkey), CSKA Moscow and Internacional de Porto Alegre, after they also rejected the millionaire’s offer by Arabs. Crescent a month ago.
Marco Silva’s biography includes spells at Estoril (won the League 2 championship and led the Canary Islands to a historic presence in European competitions), Sporting (won the Portuguese Cup), Olympiacos (copied in Greece), as well as British clubs Hull City, Watford and Everton.
