It has now been announced that yet another Premier League manager is leaving his club.
Fulham revealing that Marco Silva is now going after five years in charge.
With Jose Mourinho getting the Real Madrid job, it is expected Marco Silva will shortly be confirmed as his replacement at Benfica.
Fulham releasing an official statement on Tuesday 2 June 2026 that begins: ‘The Club can confirm that Marco Silva will leave his role as Head Coach at Fulham this summer. It’s a position that Silva has held for five years – which had made him the third longest serving boss in the Premier League, and fifth longest in the Football League – a spell which was laden with success.’
Marco Silva releasing an open letter to the supporters: “To our fans – I asked you, from day one, to always be with us. And that’s what you did these past five years. We achieved a lot together. My staff and I always felt your support. It will never be forgotten. Fulham will always be in my heart, and sooner or later I will be back at Craven Cottage.”
Meanwhile, Fulham owner Shahid Khan telling the Fulham fans: “Marco Silva leaves our Club with my gratitude and best wishes. Fulham and Marco were an excellent fit for five seasons, but change is inevitable in this game, and we’ve accordingly prepared for this moment. The talent in our squad, our historic home ground of Craven Cottage, our faithful supporters, and my commitment to backing the Club, all make Fulham an extraordinarily attractive destination for an incoming head coach. We will soon appoint a new leader in a timely but deliberate manner, who will meet the standards of our Club and expectations of our fans throughout the world.”
