Take note, Benfica! Marco Silva again on his future: At present... | OneFootball

At a time when the national and Spanish press claim that José Mourinho is set for Real Madrid, the name of Marco Silva is gaining momentum at Benfica. In recent hours, the Portuguese coach gave an interview to DAZN, where he spoke about the offer to renew with Fulham and admitted the possibility of moving to new leagues, taking on new challenges.

Open to another league?

"The English league, I won’t hide it, fulfills me. Every coach has the urge to experience it one day. That was always the goal: it’s a league where I feel good and where I enjoy being. With the ambition I have, I want to see my team fighting for other things, for something more. But I have never closed the door on anything, I have never said that I would never be in league A, B, C or D. Regardless of any decisions I may make, the future is open".

Do rumors affect you?

"Personally, it does not unsettle me in the slightest, quite the opposite. We give as much importance as we want to certain situations. The noise and rumors surrounding any coach or player are so great that maybe 50 to 60 percent are not even close to the truth".

What is left to achieve?

"As a coach, there are still quite a few things left for me to achieve. Whether they will be accomplished at Fulham or not, at this moment I cannot give that certainty, but I still have quite a lot left. Regardless of being 48, I feel my batteries are fully charged to keep fighting for objectives".

Open to a change?

"At this moment, looking at scenarios and projects that may be on the table, I prefer to wait until the end of the season to analyze things with the club and then make decisions. The Premier League is always a priority. There is no point hiding it: at this moment, it is something on my mind, but we can never control everything. We do not know what projects we may or may not have, but right now, looking at the options, there has been an offer for some months to renew with Fulham, which is already public, and other possible projects within this league. Apparently, at this moment, it is something that can be combined with continuing in the Premier League".
