Fulham owner Tony Khan confirmed the club is pursuing two top managerial candidates to replace Marco Silva, though he declined to name them. "We have been actively talking," Khan said, emphasizing genuine interest in multiple prospects. The search follows Fulham’s 11th-place finish last season, which cost them European qualification by two points. Interim candidates like Arbeloa (Real Madrid legend) and Lampard (Coventry’s 2024 manager) have connections to the club, though neither is guaranteed. Khan stressed openness to further discussions, noting some rumored targets were never formally approached.

The lack of a clear successor raises stakes for Fulham’s Premier League survival hopes.
